Journal ArticleDOI

Biodegradable hydrophilic carriers for the oral delivery of hematological factor IX for hemophilia B treatment.

TL;DR: Evaluating the drug delivery application of this degradable P(MAA-g-EG) system, factor IX release studies showed site-specific release, and in vitro transport studies resulted in improved factor IX absorption, which significantly improved the delivery potential as compared to previously reported non-degradable drug delivery systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantifying Tight Junction Disruption Caused by Biomimetic pH-Sensitive Hydrogel Drug Carriers.

TL;DR: A confocal microscopy imaging method was developed to determine the effect of microparticulate poly(methacrylic acid) grafted poly(ethylene glycol) (P(MAA-g-EG) hydrogel drug carriers on the integrity of claudin-1 and E-cadherin networks in Caco-2 monolayers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Friedel-Crafts crosslinking methods for polystyrene modification: 5. Sulfonated crosslinked polystyrene particles

TL;DR: In this paper, a new method of preparation of sulfonated, crosslinked polystyrene particles is described, which is formed by Friedel-Crafts suspension crosslinking of poly styrene dissolved in nitrobenzene.
Journal ArticleDOI

The use of x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy for the analysis of the surface of biomaterials

TL;DR: The interaction of a biomaterial with its environment occurs primarily at the material /biological fluid interface as discussed by the authors, but many interactions are specific to the surface region (wetting, adhesion, many catalytic reactions, blood compatibility, etc.).
