Polymeric and lipid-based systems for controlled drug release: an engineering point of view

TL;DR: The most common techniques to produce and to characterize systems for controlled drug release are reviewed, giving particular emphasis to the fundamentals of the production processes and to the possibility to describe mathematically the phenomena involved in drug release.

Application of mesoporous silica materials for the immobilization of polyphenol oxidase

TL;DR: The ability of a number of mesoporous silica materials to immobilize polyphenol oxidase (PPO) at different pH has been tested and pore size and volume are the structural characteristics with higher influence on the PPO immobilization.

A pH‐responsive drug release system based on doxorubicin conjugated amphiphilic polymer coated quantum dots for tumor cell targeting and tracking

TL;DR: The targeting imaging and pH-responsive drug release system could target the tumor cells and fluoresce quantum dots sensitively due to the conjugation of VEGF, and enabled pH-controlled-activation of the DOX.

Layered reactive barrier films

TL;DR: In this article, a layered reactive barrier membrane is constructed to test the theory that the lag time of a barrier film can be dramatically increased by the addition of scavengers which consume solute before it crosses the barrier.
