TLDR
An equation relating the rate of release of solid drugs suspended in ointment bases into perfect sinks is derived and the final expression is found to be surprisingly simple and convenient.

Halloysite nanotubes as particulate emulsifier: Preparation of biocompatible drug‐carrying PLGA microspheres based on pickering emulsion

TL;DR: In this article, a Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs)-coated micrometer-sized poly(lactic-coglycolic acid) (PLGA) microparticles were fabricated via a combined system of "Pickering-type" emulsion route and solvent volatilization method in the absence of any molecular surfactants.

Some mechanical property considerations of reconstituted collagen for drug release supports.

TL;DR: Reconstituted collagen, having been shown previously to be biodegradable and to have low immunologic activity, has been further evaluated here as a vehicle for drug delivery.

Preparation and characterization of genipin-cross-linked silk fibroin/chitosan sustained-release microspheres

TL;DR: The SF–CS composite microsphere exhibited higher sustained release than did the pure CS microspheres, and thus these composite micro Spheres might function as a superior drug carrier.

Sink conditions do not guarantee the absence of saturation effects

TL;DR: This articles aims at giving a brief overview on the underlying physico-chemical phenomena involved in drug dissolution and drug release, clarifying some key terms, and presenting several examples of dosage forms in which drug saturation effects within the system are of importance, even when providing sink conditions in the surrounding bulk fluid.
