Surface Defection Reduces Cytotoxicity of Zn(2-methylimidazole)2 (ZIF-8) without Compromising its Drug Delivery Capacity.
Zn(2-methylimidazole)2 (ZIF-8), as one of the most important metal-organic framework (MOF) molecules, is a promising candidate for drug delivery due to its low-density structure, high surface area, and tunable frameworks. However, ZIF-8 exhibits a high cytotoxicity associated with its external hydrophobic surface, which significantly restricts its application in drug delivery and other biomedic...
متن کاملFunhaler spacer: improving adherence without compromising delivery.
A novel asthma spacer device, the "Funhaler", incorporates incentive toys which are isolated from the main inspiratory circuit by a valve. Here we show that its use does not compromise drug delivery. Improved adherence combined with satisfactory delivery characteristics suggest that the Funhaler may be useful for management of young asthmatics.
متن کاملNanocapsules engineered from polyhedral ZIF-8 templates for bone-targeted hydrophobic drug delivery.
A novel bone-targeted delivery systems based on nanocapsules was developed utilizing a Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework (ZIF-8) as a template and catechol-modified gelatin as wall material. A targeting ligand was facilely conjugated on the surface of nanocapsules. Simvastatin was encapsulated within the nanocapsules with a loading of 37.9%. Hydroxyapatite binding and in vivo biodistribution of th...
متن کاملMacronutrient manipulations of cheese resulted in lower energy content without compromising its satiating capacity
Manipulation of food's macronutrient composition in order to reduce energy content without compromising satiating capacity may be helpful in body weight control. For cheeses, substituting fat with protein may provide such opportunity. We aimed at examining the acute effect of cheeses with different macronutrient compositions on accumulated energy intake and subjective appetite sensation. A tota...
متن کاملStepwise chilling: tender pork without compromising water-holding capacity.
The current pork slaughter process is primarily optimized to reduce cooler shrink and the incidence of PSE pork. Elimination of the halothane gene and improved preslaughter handling have decreased the incidence of PSE pork and improved the water-holding capacity of the muscle; however, the chilling process has not been optimized to accommodate these changes. The hypothesis that stepwise chillin...
