Drugs and gene carrier particles that rapidly move through mucous barriers

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method for transporting bioactive agents across mucosal barriers by using polymeric particles suitable for transporting agents across the mucosal barrier, and they described methods of making and using those polymeric particle.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nanoparticles coated with high molecular weight PEG penetrate mucus and provide uniform vaginal and colorectal distribution in vivo.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that by increasing the surface density, PEG with molecular weight (MW) as high as 40 kDa can be used as a mucoinert NP surface coating to prevent interactions with mucus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Controlled local delivery of interleukin-2 by biodegradable polymers protects animals from experimental brain tumors and liver tumors.

TL;DR: Immunity memory was induced following IL-2 microsphere therapy in the B16-F10 brain tumor model that was capable of protecting 42% of animals from a subsequent intracranial tumor challenge, suggesting that tumor destruction was mediated by the immune system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drug Absorption by the Respiratory Mucosa: Cell Culture Models and Particulate Drug Carriers

TL;DR: The inhalation route is of increasing interest for both local and systemic drug delivery, including macromolecular biopharmaceuticals, such as peptides, proteins, and gene therapeutics, and the effect and efficacy of novel drug carrier systems can be systematically studied.
Journal ArticleDOI

Controlled protein delivery from biodegradable tyrosine-containing poly(anhydride-co-imide) microspheres

TL;DR: A close correlation between protein release and polymer weight loss was observed, suggesting a release mechanism controlled mainly by polymer erosion.
