In our review paper, titled "Polymeric Micelles for Ocular Drug Delivery", which was recently published in “Molecular Pharmaceutics”, we discussed the challenges and advancements in delivering drugs to the eye. We explored the intricate barriers that impede effective drug absorption and distribution into the ocular tissues, and how polymeric micelles (PMs) offer a promising solution. PMs can solubilize hydrophobic drugs and maintain nanoscopic diameters without obstructing vision. We covered the latest R&D efforts reported on single or mixed micelles, copolymers, and gel systems, highlighting their benefits in enhancing drug release, residence time, and ocular bioavailability. The review emphasizes the significant preclinical and clinical progress in micellar ocular delivery systems, which led to the first nanomicallar formulation approved for clinical use by the US FDA (marketed as Cequa by Sun Pharmaceuticals).

Our collaborative review reached 3,500 reads Achieved on July 26, 2024 Article: Stimuli-Responsive Polymers for Transdermal, Transmucosal and Ocular Drug Delivery Briefly, conventional and widespread use, oral and intravenous routes of drug administration face a number of limitations. In particular, orally administered drugs undergo enzymatic degradation in the gastrointestinal tract and first-pass metabolism in the liver, which tend to decrease their bioavailability. Intravenous infusions of medications are invasive, painful and stressful for patients and carry the risk of infections, tissue damage and other adverse reactions. In order to account for these disadvantages, alternative routes of drug delivery, such as transdermal, nasal, oromucosal, ocular and others, have been considered. drug formulations have been modified in order to improve their storage stability, solubility, absorption and safety. Recently, stimuli-responsive polymers have been shown to achieve controlled release and enhance the bioavailability of multiple drugs. In this review, we discuss the most up-to-date use of stimuli-responsive materials in order to optimize the delivery of medications that are unstable to pH or undergo primary metabolism via transdermal, nasal, oromucosal and ocular routes. Release kinetics, diffusion parameters and permeation rate of the drug via the mucosa or skin are discussed as well. #review #drugdelivery #peptides #ocular #KazNMU

Prof. Hana Bisker Gili has developed a fluorometric method utilizing near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent SWCNT probes functionalized with myristoylcholine (MC), allowing real-time monitoring of cholinesterase (CHE) activity in blood plasma. The fluorescence of SWCNTs decreases upon CHE hydrolysis of MC, serving as optical sensors for enzyme activity in the NIR range. This approach offers advantages over UV-visible methods due to NIR's biological transparency and the background-free monitoring capabilities of SWCNTs.

In this research, the team utilized triazacoronene, possessing a chemical structure similar to graphene, and introduced bulky pendant functional groups to its periphery. By introducing steric hindrance from these pendant groups, the team successfully suppressed the stacking of two-dimensional polymer intermediates during the polymerization of triazacoronene monomers. This led to increased solubility of the intermediates and facilitated the synthesis of two-dimensional polymers with higher degree of polymerization and fewer defects, resulting in outstanding electrical conductivity after p-type doping. #nanotechnology #graphene #materialsscience #electronics #semiconductor #engineering #innovation #scienceandtechnology

We are pleased to share with you a new scientific article published in SURFACES by our researchers Florinel Sava, Iosif-Daniel Simandan, Angel-Theodor Buruiana , Amelia Elena Bocirnea, Outman El Khouja, Teddy Tite, Mohamed Yasssine Zaki , Claudia Mihai and Alin Velea on Synthesis of WS2 ultrathin films by magnetron sputtering followed by sulfurization in a confined space. In the quest for advanced materials suitable for next-generation electronic and optoelectronic applications, tungsten disulfide (WS2) ultrathin films have emerged as promising candidates due to their unique properties. However, obtaining WS2 directly on the desired substrate, eliminating the need for transfer, which produces additional defects, poses many challenges. This paper aims to explore the synthesis of WS2 ultrathin films via physical vapor deposition (PVD) followed by sulfurization in a confined space, addressing the challenge of film formation for practical applications. Precursor layers of tungsten and WS2 were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering. Subsequent sulfurization treatments were conducted in a small, closed, graphite box to produce WS2 films. The physical and chemical properties of these precursor and sulfurized layers were thoroughly characterized using techniques such as X-ray reflectometry (XRR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The findings reveal notable distinctions in film thickness, structural orientation, and chemical composition, attributable to the different precursor used. Particularly, the sulfurized layers from the tungsten precursor exhibited a preferred orientation of WS2 crystallites with their (00L) planes parallel to the substrate surface, along with a deviation from parallelism in a small angular range. This study highlights the necessity of precise control over deposition and sulfurization parameters to tailor the properties of WS2 films for specific technological applications.

The search and characterization of Weyl Semimetals (WSMs) is a challenge, in particular, because it requires a deep numerical analysis of the Fermi surface to identify the Fermi arcs. Here, we proposed a theoretical framework based on the combination of density functional theory with maximally localized Wannier functions for tight-binding parametrization and topological analyses to identify and characterize WSMs compounds. https://lnkd.in/gCN4YmTf
