Solute diffusion in swollen membranes: VI. A model for diffusion in heterogeneous media

Ronald S. Harland, +1 more
- 01 Dec 1987 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a new model was derived to calculate the solute diffusion coefficient through heterogeneous membranes consisting of a crosslinked, swollen phase and an impermeable, crystalline phase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Complexation Hydrogels as Oral Delivery Vehicles of Therapeutic Antibodies: An in Vitro and ex Vivo Evaluation of Antibody Stability and Bioactivity.

Brenda R. Carrillo-Conde, +3 more
- 28 Oct 2015 - 
TL;DR: P(MAA-g-EG) and P(M AA-co-NVP) hydrogels systems were optimized to achieve adequate swelling behavior, which translated into improved protein loading and release at neutral pH simulating the small intestine conditions, which makes them candidates for use as oral delivery systems for therapeutic antibodies.
Journal ArticleDOI

An inulin and doxorubicin conjugate for improving cancer therapy

Cody A. Schoener, +3 more
- 01 Jan 2013 - 
TL;DR: A new conjugate composed of doxorubicin and inulin and evaluated its potential as a new therapeutic agent for cancer treatment, finding the synergistic effect of inulin conjugated toDoxorubsicin has allowed the same cytotoxic response to be maintained or improved at lower doses as compared to doxOrubic in this research.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transport of penetrants in the macromolecular structure of coals. i. anomalous transport in untreated and pyridine-extracted coals

Nicholas A. Peppas, +1 more
- 01 Jan 1985 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the mechanisms of penetrant transport in coal sections and particles and observed anomalous (non-Fickian) and Case-II transport were observed in much the same way as with glassy polymers.
Journal ArticleDOI

α-Galactosylceramide and peptide-based nano-vaccine synergistically induced a strong tumor suppressive effect in melanoma

Vanessa Sainz, +16 more
- 01 Aug 2018 - 
TL;DR: Overall, the combined delivery of the NKT agonist with TLR ligands and melanoma antigens via this multivalent nano-vaccine displayed a synergistic anti-tumor immune-mediated efficacy in B16F10 melanoma mouse model.
