Localized Delivery of Exogenous C-type Natriuretic Peptide from Heparin-Coated NPs – Potential Use in Suppressing Fibrotic Phenotypes in Cardiac Myofibrogenesis
comments
In a healthy heart, cells naturally secrete C-type natriuretic peptide CNP , an anti-fibrotic cytokine that has strong effects on cardiac fibroblast function, fibrosis, and extracellular matrix deposition...
Significant bone loss due to internal or external factors, remains a large orthopedic challenge. Current interventions use either autograft and allograft sources that carry a significant complication burden and show limited functional recovery, emphasizing the demand for an alternative therapeutic solution...
Generally, drug molecules are associated with low solubility in physiological media, rapid metabolism or undesired interaction with proteins present in the blood including enzymes and antibodies...
Most of the mechanical solicitations within the human body are stress driven. As an example, vascular biomaterials are submitted to an average blood pressure of 100 mmHg...
Temperature Responsive Nanogels for the Encapsulation and Targeted Delivery of Nitroimidazole Derivatized Molecule for Therapeutic and Diagnostic Treatment of Hypoxic Liver Cancer
