Endoprotease-mediated intracellular protein delivery using nanocapsules.
Proteins possess distinct intracellular roles allowing them to have vast therapeutic applications. However, due to poor cellular permeability and fragility of most proteins, intracellular delivery of native, active proteins is challenging. We describe a biomimetic protein delivery vehicle which is degradable upon the digestion by furin, a ubiquitous intracellular protease, to release encapsulat...
متن کاملRedox-responsive nanocapsules for intracellular protein delivery.
Direct delivery of proteins to the cytosol of cells holds tremendous potential in biological and medical applications. Engineering vehicles for escorting proteins to the cytosol in a controlled release fashion has thus generated considerable interest. We report here the preparation of redox-responsive single-protein nanocapsules for intracellular protein delivery. Through in situ interfacial po...
متن کاملHollow chitosan/alginate nanocapsules for bioactive compound delivery.
This work aimed at the development of biodegradable nanocapsules as carriers of two bioactive compounds, 5-aminosalycilic acid and glycomacropeptide. Nanocapsules were produced through layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition of chitosan (CH) and alginate (ALG) layers on polystyrene nanoparticles. The bioactive compounds were incorporated on the third layer of the nanocapsules being its encapsulation ef...
متن کاملTargeted Brain Delivery of Bioactive Molecules Using Nanocarriers
The brain is the center of the nervous system and an integral part of the body acting as a major regulating and conveying organ to maintain the body’s homeostasis in response to changes in both the external and internal surroundings. Brain consists of approximately 100 billion neurons and 1 trillion glial cells [1]. The connection between two neurons is known as synapse, which are responsible f...
متن کاملSilk-based delivery systems of bioactive molecules.
Silks are biodegradable, biocompatible, self-assembling proteins that can also be tailored via genetic engineering to contain specific chemical features, offering utility for drug and gene delivery. Silkworm silk has been used in biomedical sutures for decades and has recently achieved Food and Drug Administration approval for expanded biomaterials device utility. With the diversity and control...
