Preparation and optimization of surface-treated methotrexate-loaded nanogels intended for brain delivery.

TL;DR: The cumulative in vitro release profiles of surfactant-coated and uncoated nanogels were almost identical and showed acceptable performance, and the surfaces of the MTX-loaded nanogel were modified by polysorbate 80 for the purpose of brain targeting.

Preparation of novel berberine nano-colloids for improving wound healing of diabetic rats by acting Sirt1/NF-κB pathway.

TL;DR: In the present work, novel berberine nano-colloids hydrogel (BNH) was prepared for improving wound healing of diabetic rats and molecular mechanism research revealed that BNH could inhibit the expression of NF-κB, TNF-a and IL-6, but increase theexpression of F VEGF, CD 31 and SMA by activating Sirt 1 which were benefit for wound healing for diabetic rats.

A 3D in vitro spheroid model as a way to study the mechanisms of electroporation.

TL;DR: This work exploited multicellular tumor spheroids as an ex vivo model of tumor to validate the spheroid model as a way to study electro-mediated gene delivery processes and reveals that even if cells can be efficiently permeabilized with electric fields, gene expression is by contrast limited to the external layers of cells.
