Liposome production and concurrent loading of drug simulants by microfluidic hydrodynamic focusing 01/09/2019
Abstract Liposomes are spherical vesicles enclosed by phospholipid bilayers. Nanoscale liposomes are widely employed for drug delivery in the pharmaceutical industry. In this study, nanoscale liposomes are fabricated using the microfluidic hydrodynamic focusing (MHF) approach, and the effects of flow rate ratio (FRR) on liposome size and drug loading efficiency are studied. Fluorescein isothiocyanate modified […]
Microenvironment of tryptophan residues in proteins of four structural classes: applications for fluorescence and circular dichroism spectroscopy 01/09/2019
Abstract In this study we examined microenvironment of Trp residues in “dry” sets of nonhomologous proteins that belong to four structural classes, as well as in a “wet” set. In silico experiments showed that residues of Trp demonstrate higher surface accessibility in proteins of “alpha/beta” class where they are rarely included in beta strands. However, […]
Growth of a gas bubble in a perfused tissue in an unsteady pressure field with source or sink 01/09/2019
Abstract In the context of decompression sickness, this paper presents analytical formulae and explanations for growth of a gas bubble in blood and other tissues in an unsteady diffusion field with a source or a sink. The formulae are valid for variable (through decompression) and constant (concerning diving stops/at sea level) ambient pressure. Under a […]
