Vesicular systems, such as liposomes and ethosomes, are used in cosmetic and pharmaceutical products to encapsulate ingredients, to protect ingredients from degradation, to increase bioavailability, and to improve cosmetic performance. Some reports have suggested that formulation of cosmetic ingredients in vesicular carrier systems may increase their contact allergy elicitation potential in hum...

How can organelles communicate by bidirectional vesicle transport and yet maintain different protein compositions? We show by mathematical modeling that a minimal system, in which the basic variables are cytosolic coats for vesicle budding and membrane-bound soluble N-ethyl-maleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs) for vesicle fusion, is sufficient to generate stable, non...

The turn of century has witnessed a huge increase in the number of technologies and immunological approaches for new vaccine design. Vesicular carriers, i.e. liposomes, niosomes, transfersomes represent widely exploited class of novel delivery systems for topical applications. Non-invasive vaccination onto the skin using these novel carriers could improve vaccination programs because the proced...

Recently a number of lipid based systems like lipospheres, liposomes, niosomes, ethosomes, and transferosomes have been developed. The purpose of this review article on colloidosome drug delivery was to compile the focus on the types, properties, fabrication techniques, characterization and stability of colloidosomes. This system also solves the problem of insolubility, instability, rapid degra...

RNA viruses possess the potential for rapid evolution and serve as excellent models to test evolutionary theory. Molecular phylogenetic analysis of the P gene for a larger number of diverse natural isolates of vesicular stomatitis virus reveals no evidence for a molecular clock but instead shows a stepwise evolutionary pattern unlike that ever seen before. Each step out from the tree's ancestra...

Harnessing the Potential of Vesicular Stomatitis Virus as a Novel Therapeutic Strategy for Cancer Treatment

We present the first experimental investigation of the fragmentation behavior of twophase (melt+gas) rhyolitic systems under rapid decompression. Two-phase samples have been generated by foaming water-oversaturated rhyolitic melts up to 900°C and up to 18 MPa prior to rapid decompression in a fragmentation bomb. The fragmented particles or experimental pyroclasts were recovered for analysis. Se...

This study aimed to analyze seasonal variations in the antioxidant defence systems of the seminal plasma and fluids of the cauda epididymis and vesicular glands of the boar. The analyzed antioxidants included superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and total L-glutathione (GSH+GSSG). Seasonal changes in total protein content and total antioxidant status (TAS) of...
