Controlled-release nanotherapeutics : state of translation by Tan, Yang Fei, Lao, Luciana Lisa, Xiong, Gordon Minru, Venkatraman, Subbu

“…This is partly because achieving true sustained duration of action over several days is difficult when the carrier dimensions become less than about 400 nm, due to the much shorter diffusion path length compared to micron-sized carrier systems. Other options must be sought to control the efflux of incorporated bioactives, particularly when these bioactives have moderate to high hydrophilicity. …”

Mechanistic aspects of the evolution of 3D cholesterol crystallites in a supported lipid membrane via a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring by Ma, Gamaliel Junren, Zhdanov, Vladimir P., Park, Soohyun, Sut, Tun Naw, Cho, Nam-Joon

“…Microscopic imaging showed the evolution of the morphology of cholesterol crystallites from nanorod- and plate-shaped habits during the initial stage to mostly large, micron-sized three-dimensional (3D) plate-shaped crystallites in the end, which was likened to Ostwald ripening. …”
