Objective(s): Production of effective tuberculosis (TB) vaccine is necessity. However, the development of new subunit vaccines is faced with concerns about their weak immunogenicity. To overcome such problems, polymers-based vaccine delivery systems have been proposed to be used via various routes. The purpose of this study was to determine the potential of polymeric particles as future vaccine...

Calcium Hydroxide (CH) is commonly employed as intracanal medicament in endodontics. In order to maximize its therapeutic effects, it is essential to develop new approaches for preparing the controlled drug release systems which, in turn, facilities the dissociation of CH into calcium and hydroxyl ions. This work studies the sustained-controlled release of calcium ions and the effect of pH chan...

A large number of both natural and synthetic polymers have been studied for powible application in drug delivery. The great advantage of synthetic polymers is their advantageous properties and wide choice availability. Two promising synthetic polymers which have been developed for biomedical applications are polyvinylpyrolidone and polyethylene glycol acrylate based hydrogels. Both of them are ...

Natural polymers have shown an increasing interest in the field of medical science. These have been used in the different dosage form that helps in the sustain and control release of drug. Now a day natural polymers are used in novel and conventional dosage form directly or indirectly. Natural polymers used in various formulations like microspheres, nanoparticles, tablets, gels, implants, nioso...

Biodegradable materials are used in packaging, agriculture, medicine and other areas. In recent years there has been an increase in interest in biodegradable polymers. Two classes of biodegradable polymers can be distinguished: synthetic or natural polymers. There are polymers produced from feedstocks derived either from petroleum resources (non renewable resources) or from biological resources...
