1. Sustained and triggered release by microencapsulation
Abstract : Uncontrolled growth of microorganisms is problematic in areas ranging from wound care to aquaculture and ship hulls. In chronic and hard-to-heal wounds, a bacterial biofilm can impair wound healing. READ MORE

2. Mechanisms underlying sustained synaptic release of glutamate
Abstract : Fast communication between neurons in the brain is mediated mainly by amino acid transmitters, such as glutamate, GABA and glycine. These transmitters are stored in small synaptic vesicles which undergo exocytosis at synaptic release sites (active zones) in response to action potentials. READ MORE

3. From Macromolecular Design to Supramolecular Self-assembly
Abstract : Advancements in drug delivery have enabled a wider array of prevention, control and treatment of diseases such as cancer. Drug delivery systems have the possibility of encapsulating drugs with low solubility, delivering them to specific locations in the body as well as obtaining a controlled and sustained drug release.

4. Drug Eluting Hydrogels : Design, Synthesis and Evaluation
Abstract : Hydrogels have successfully proved themselves useful for drug delivery applications and several delivery routes have been developed over the years. The particular interest in this work was to design, synthesise and evaluate in situ forming drug eluting hydrogels, which have the potential to ameliorate the healing of cardiovascular diseases.

5. Mesostructured particulate silica materials with tunable pore size : Synthesis, characterization and applications
Abstract : Colloidal assemblies of surfactants and polymers in aqueous solutions have been used by human mankind for hundreds of years and they are of great importance in many of our technological processes, such as fabrication of soap and papermaking. Less than two decades ago the idea of using colloidal assemblies as templates of inorganic materials was borne. READ MORE
