TL;DR: This review provids a concise discussion of nano carriers for drug transport across the intact BBB, various forms of nanomaterials including inorganic/solid lipid/polymeric nanoparticles, nanoemulsions, quantum dots, nanogels, liposomes, micelles, dendrimers, polymersomes and exosomes are critically evaluated, and the future directions of this area are fully discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed and characterized novel casting films based on feather keratin (FK) crosslinked by dialdehyde starch (DAS) and plasticized with glycerol for applications in biomedicine.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed and characterized blended films based on FK and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) crosslinked by dialdehyde starch (DAS) for a potential drug release application.

TL;DR: In this article, an electrospinning process was used to fabricate and characterize both random and aligned feather keratin (FK)/PVA composite nanofibers through an electrostinning process and the morphology, molecular interaction, crystallization behavior, and tensile properties of the nanofiber were investigated.

TL;DR: The crystallinity, thermal stability, and antibacterial activity of FK/PVA/PEO nanofibers were enhanced by embedding AgNPs, and both the tensile strength and elongation-at-break reached the highest level.
