A systematic review of mucoadhesive vaginal tablet testing
(AboutScience, 2023-01-16)
Drug administration through the vaginal tract is one of the oldest modalities of pharmacotherapy, and it is also one of the most explored. Since the vaginal cavity has a wide surface area, a plentiful blood supply, and a ...
Pulsed ultraviolet (PUV) disinfection of artifcially contaminated seawater seeded with high levels of pathogen disease indicators as an alternative for the shellfish industry depuration systems
(Springer, 2023-05-08)
The increase in pathogen levels in seawater threatens the safety of entire aquatic ecosystems. Foodborne pathogens can potentially accumulate in shellfish, especially in filter feeders such as bivalves, requiring an efficient ...
Polysaccharides—Naturally Occurring Immune Modulators
(MDPI, 2023-05-19)
The prevention of disease and infection requires immune systems that operate effectively. This is accomplished by the elimination of infections and abnormal cells. Immune or biological therapy treats disease by either ...
Sustainable production and pharmaceutical applications of β-glucan from microbial sources
(Elsevier, 2023-06-05)
β-glucans are a large class of complex polysaccharides found in abundant sources. Our dietary sources of β-glucans are cereals that include oats and barley, and non-cereal sources can consist of mushrooms, microalgae, ...
Designing sustainable polymer blends: tailoring mechanical properties and degradation behaviour in PHB/PLA/PCL blends in a seawater environment
(MDPI, 2023-06-29)
Biodegradable polyesters are a popular choice for both packaging and medical device manufacture owing to their ability to break down into harmless components once they have completed their function. However, commonly used ...
Synergy assessment of four antimicrobial bioactive compounds for the combinational treatment of bacterial pathogens
(MDPI, 2023-08-07)
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has become a topic of great concern in recent years, with
much effort being committed to developing alternative treatments for resistant bacterial pathogens.
Drug combinational therapies ...
