1. Particle Transcytosis Across the Human Intestinal Epithelium : Model Development and Target Identification for Improved Drug Delivery
Abstract : The use of nano- and micro-particulate carriers as delivery systems for oral vaccines has been under investigation for several decades. Surprisingly little is known of their uptake in the human intestine, despite the fact that substantial improvement is required to achieve adequate immune responses in man after oral administration.

5. Antitumor Activities of 2-Methoxyestradiol on Cervical and Endometrial Cancers In Vitro and In Vivo
Abstract : 2-Methoxyestradiol (2-ME), a metabolite of 17β-estradiol, is a potent antitumor and antiangiogenesis agent in vitro and in vivo. This study aimed to investigate the effects of 2-ME on human cervical and endometrial cancers in vitro and in vivo. READ MORE
