A new perspective for psoriasis: Dithranol nanosponge loaded hydrogels
We developed dithranol nanosponge integrated Carbopol hydrogel (DTHNS-HG) as a novel perspective for psoriasis management. Dithranol was chosen as antipsoriatic moiety for this system. In this study, our objective was to fabricate and evaluate DTHNS-HG for in vivo anti-psoriatic activity using mouse…

Topically applied lipid-containing emulsions based on PEGylated emulsifiers: Formulation,…
PEGylated emulsifiers have been largely used in topical formulations for skin research. They have been a continuous study focus in our group as well. According to our previous studies, severe interruptions of the skin barrier were observed with certain types of emulsifiers. To restore the skin…

Poloxamer-Based Hydrogel as Drug Delivery System: How Polymeric Excipients Influence the…
Thermogelling amphiphilic block copolymers have been widely investigated in the development of pharmaceutical drug carriers. In particular, thermosensitive gels based on poloxamer 407 (P407) have great potential for periodontal disease treatment, thanks to their ability to be liquid at room…

Design and evaluation of glimepiride hydrogel for transdermal delivery
The solubility of glimepiride (GM) was improved from 1.6 μg/mL to 22.0 mg/mL when GM and meglumine (MU) complexes were prepared. Therefore, transdermal hydrogels of GM Carbopol (GM-CP) and GM hydroxypropyl methylcellulose pullulan (GM-HPMC-Pu) were prepared successfully utilizing the improved drug…

Radial die wall pressure measurement
Instrumented die is used to measure maximum die-wall pressure (MDP) and residual die-wall pressure (RDP) during powder compaction. This document from MEDELPHARM aims to provide a methodology to characterize powders with this device.
Introduction
During tablet development, people study ejection…

A 3D Bioprinted in vitro Model of Neuroblastoma Recapitulates Dynamic Tumor-Endothelial Cell…
Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common extracranial tumor in children resulting in substantial morbidity and mortality. A deeper understanding of the NB tumor microenvironment (TME) remains an area of active research but there is a lack of reliable and biomimetic experimental models. This study…

Droplet splashing during the impact on liquid pools of shear-thinning fluids with yield stress
The impact of droplets on liquid pools is ubiquitous in nature and many industrial applications. Most previous studies of droplet impact focus on Newtonian fluids, while less attention has been paid to the impact dynamics of non-Newtonian droplets, even though non-Newtonian fluids are widely used in…

The interactions in ternary system made of xanthan gum, Carbopol 940 and anionic/nonionic surfactant
The development and optimization of systems consist of polymers and surfactants are strongly related to the presence of interactions between them. Therefore, the interpolymer complexes between biopolymer xanthan gum and synthetic polymer Carbopol 940 were investigated before and after the addition…

Physico-chemical Modification of Gelatine for the Improvement of 3D Printability of Oxidized…
This work explored 3D bioplotting to mimic the intrinsic hierarchical structure of natural articular cartilage. Alginate dialdehyde-gelatine (ADA-GEL) was used as a hydrogel ink to create hierarchically ordered scaffolds. In comparison to previously reported ADA-GEL compositions, we introduce a…
