Large Porous Particles for Pulmonary Drug Delivery

TL;DR: A new type of inhalation aerosol, characterized by particles of small mass density and large size, permitted the highly efficient delivery of inhaled therapeutics into the systemic circulation.
Patent

Aerodynamically light particles for pulmonary drug delivery

TL;DR: Improved aerodynamically light particles for delivery to the pulmonary system, and methods for their preparation and administration are provided in this paper, where the particles are made of a biodegradable material and have a tap density less than 0.4 g/cm3 and a mass mean diameter between 5 µm and 30 µm.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bacterial inactivation by using near- and supercritical carbon dioxide

TL;DR: A potential new method of sterilization is demonstrated by using supercritical fluid carbon dioxide to achieve complete inactivation of a wide variety of bacterial organisms at moderate temperatures and in the absence of organic solvents or irradiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization and development of RGD-peptide-modified poly(lactic acid-co-lysine) as an interactive, resorbable biomaterial.

TL;DR: The significance of this work is that the first synthetic interactive, resorbable biomaterial has been developed, and use of this material to control cell behavior has been demonstrated.
