Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement of the swelling force in ionic polymer networks. III. Swelling force of interpolymer complexes
TL;DR: In this paper, the swelling force of interpolymer complexes formed by graft polymerization of poly (ethylene glycol) monomethacylate on poly(methacrylic acid) was measured as a function of time in various pH buffered solutions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of poly(methacrylic acid-co-N-vinyl pyrrolidone) as a carrier for the oral delivery of therapeutic proteins using Caco-2 and HT29-MTX cell lines.
TL;DR: Hydrogels of poly(methacrylic acid-co-N-vinyl pyrrolidone) were synthesized and evaluated for their use as carriers for oral protein delivery and revealed that microparticles of this system were best suited for oral delivery of therapeutic agents that do not require transport facilitation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of absorption and transport on intelligent therapeutics and nanoscale delivery of protein therapeutic agents
TL;DR: The combination of materials design and advances in nanotechnology has led to the development of new therapeutic protein delivery systems, but the need to develop models that accurately predict protein blood concentration as a function of the material structure and properties still exists still exists.
Journal ArticleDOI
Messenger RNA-based vaccines: Past, present, and future directions in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a brief commentary based on the history and development of mRNA vaccines in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, and address current research using the technology and future directions of mRNA vaccine research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time-dependent mechanical properties of polymeric coatings used in rupturable pulsatile release dosage forms.
TL;DR: The mechanical properties of polymer films used in pharmaceutical coatings of pulsatile drug delivery systems were evaluated in the dry and the wet state by a newly developed puncture test, which allowed the time-dependent measurement of the mechanical properties on the same film specimen.
