The release kinetics of β-carotene nanocapsules/xanthan gum coating and quality changes in fresh-cut melon (cantaloupe).

TL;DR: It is concluded that incorporating β-carotene nanocapsules into a polysaccharide matrix improves the properties of the coatings, thereby increasing storage time to 21days at 4°C.

Simultaneous delivery of paclitaxel and erlotinib from dual drug loaded PLGA nanoparticles: Formulation development, thorough optimization and in vitro release

TL;DR: The XRD and DSC results of a physical mixture and PE-NPs together confirmed that there was not any physical or chemical interaction among the drugs and polymer (PLGA), and there was a minimal variation in size and entrapment efficiency of PE-nPs.

Stimuli-responsive, biocompatible hydrogel derived from glycogen and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) for colon targeted delivery of ornidazole and 5-amino salicylic acid

TL;DR: The synthesized hydrogel can load colon targeted drugs, 5-amino salicylic acid (5-ASA) and ornidazole, efficiently and released both drugs in a controlled manner, while ∼96–97% of drugs remained stable after 2 months.

Recombinant Amphiphilic Protein Micelles for Drug Delivery

TL;DR: The utility of protein nanoparticles to serve as a vehicle for controlled drug delivery and the capacity of drug-loaded protein micelles to limit the in vivo recruitment of neutrophils in response to an inflammatory stimulus is demonstrated.
