Chemicals on demand with phototriggerable microcapsules.
We report the development of phototriggerable microcapsules and demonstrate the concept of protection and remote release of chemical species. Light-rupturable, liquid-filled microcapsules were prepared by coencapsulation of carbon nanotubes using a simple and robust interfacial polymerization technique. The incorporation of carbon nanotubes endows the microcapsules with the ability to respond t...
متن کاملpH-controlled drug loading and release from biodegradable microcapsules.
Microcapsules made of biopolymers are of both scientific and technological interest and have many potential applications in medicine, including their use as controlled drug delivery devices. The present study makes use of the electrostatic interaction between polycations and polyanions to form a multilayered microcapsule shell and also to control the loading and release of charged drug molecule...
متن کاملMechanically Activated Ion Channels
Mechanotransduction, the conversion of physical forces into biochemical signals, is essential for various physiological processes such as the conscious sensations of touch and hearing, and the unconscious sensation of blood flow. Mechanically activated (MA) ion channels have been proposed as sensors of physical force, but the identity of these channels and an understanding of how mechanical for...
متن کاملInsulin-loaded microcapsules for in vivo delivery.
Microencapsulation of insulin has been difficult, due to the high sensitivity of insulin to the harsh conditions that can occur during the microencapsulation process. We have developed a method of preparing insulin-loaded microcapsules by using a monoaxial ultrasonic atomizer to form microdroplets of insulin in aqueous solution surrounded by poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) solution. Admini...
متن کاملMechano-activatable Microcapsules for Tunable Drug Delivery
Introduction A particularly desirable feature of controlled drug delivery is self-regulation, wherein physiological feedback actively regulates release kinetics. Extant systems in this domain commonly employ stimuli-responsive vehicles that rely on internal triggers to precipitate release, such as temperature, pH, or chemical reactions. 2 The sensitivity of these triggers can be tuned by biomat...
