2. 1. Sustained and triggered release by microencapsulation

   Author : Viktor Eriksson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cellulose; controlled release; microencapsulation; solution blown;

   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

4. 2. Physico-Chemical Investigations of Bilayer Discs and Related Lipid Structures Formed in Liposomal Systems Intended for Triggered Release

   Author : Maria Sandström; Katarina Edwards; Mats Almgren; Tommy Nylander; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Physical chemistry; liposome; triggered release; pH-sensitive liposomes; temperature-sensitive liposomes; drug partitioning; cryo-TEM; discs; Fysikalisk kemi;

   Abstract : This thesis describes results from fundamental studies of liposomes intended for drug delivery and pH or temperature triggered release. In addition, the effect of lipid composition on bilayer disc formation and a potential application of the bilayer discs were investigated. READ MORE

5. 3. From Macromolecular Design to Supramolecular Self-assembly

   Author : Lidija Glavas; Ann-Christine Albertsson; Karin Odelius; Matthew Becker; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Self-assembly; micelles; core crystallinity; cyclic polypeptides; electroactivity; redox-responsiveness; triggered dissociation; loading; release; N-carboxyanhydride polymerization; polyesters; poly ε-decalactone ; Självorganisation; miceller; kärnkristallinitet; cykliska polypeptider; elektroaktivitet; tidsberoende dissociation; inkapsling; frisläppning; N-karboxyanhydrid polymerisation; polyestrar; poly ε-dekalakton ; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

   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.

6. 4. Bacteria-responsive materials for drug delivery

   Author : Marina Craig; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; triggered release; multilayer; controlled release; Layer-by-layer; nanofilm; infection; enzymatic degradation;

   Abstract : The number of diabetics, obese individuals and other patients carrying other lifestyle diseasesis increasing worldwide. At the same time the population is ageing. These patients all sufferfrom poor blood circulation, which often gives rise to non-healing, or chronic, wounds. Thus,the number of chronic wounds is also increasing at a fast pace. READ MORE

7. 5. Peptide-Liposome Model Systems for Triggered Release

   Author : Camilla Skyttner; Daniel Aili; Karin Enander; Fredrik Höök; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Liposomes are widely used in drug delivery to improve drug efficacy and to reduce side effects. For liposome-encapsulated drugs to become bioavailable and provide a therapeutic effect they must be released, which typically is a slow process that primarily relies on passive diffusion, liposome rupture or endocytotic uptake.
