In this article, the authors reviewed the production techniques, characterization and physical stability of these systems including destabilizing factors and principles of drug loading, then considered aspects and benefits of SLN and NLC as colloidal drug carriers.Abstract:
Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) have attracted increasing attention by various research groups and companies since the early 1990s. Their advantages over existing traditional carriers have been clearly documented. In addition, modified SLN have been described which are nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) composed of liquid lipid blended with a solid lipid to form a nanostructured solid particle matrix. NLC combine controlled release characteristics with some advantages over SLN. This paper reviews the production techniques, characterization and physical stability of these systems including destabilizing factors and principles of drug loading, then considers aspects and benefits of SLN and NLC as colloidal drug carriers.read more

Bioavailability of nanoparticles in nutrient and nutraceutical delivery
TL;DR: Experimental data reveal that, in some cases, even nanoparticles in the 100–1000 nm range are capable of producing substantial improvement in the bioavailability of the active ingredients, and this improvement seems to be linked to the direct uptake of the nanoparticle.
