An Adjuvanted Inactivated SARS-CoV-2 Microparticulate Vaccine Delivered Using Microneedles Induces a Robust Immune Response in Vaccinated Mice
( Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) , 2023 , Article)SARS-CoV-2, the causal agent of COVID-19, is a contagious respiratory virus that frequently mutates, giving rise to variant strains and leading to reduced vaccine efficacy against the variants. Frequent vaccination against ... -
Assessment of In Vitro Immunostimulatory Activity of an Adjuvanted Whole-Cell Inactivated Neisseria gonorrhoeae Microparticle Vaccine Formulation
( MDPI , 2022 , Article)The emergence of drug-resistant gonorrhea infections worldwide combined with the lack of a vaccine is alarming. We prepared a novel microparticulate (MP) vaccine formulation using whole-cell inactivated Neisseria gonorrhoeae ... -
Microparticles as Potential Mediators of High Glucose-Induced Renal Cell Injury.
( MDPI , 2019 , Article)Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the most common cause of chronic kidney disease worldwide. Activation of signaling pathways such as the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK), ... -
Molecular Mechanisms Underpinning Microparticle-Mediated Cellular Injury in Cardiovascular Complications Associated with Diabetes.
( Hindawi , 2019 , Article)Microparticles (MPs) are small vesicles shed from the cytoplasmic membrane of healthy, activated, or apoptotic cells. MPs are very heterogeneous in size (100-1,000 nm), and they harbor proteins and surface antigens specific ... -
Preparation and optimization of monodisperse polymeric microparticles using modified vibrating orifice aerosol generator for controlled delivery of letrozole in breast cancer therapy
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2018 , Article)Letrozole (LTZ) is effective for the treatment of hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women. In this work, and for the first time, using vibrating orifice aerosol generator (VOAG) technology, monodisperse ... -
Spray-Dried Alginate Microparticles for Potential Intranasal Delivery of Ropinirole Hydrochloride: Development, Characterization and Histopathological Evaluation
( Taylor & Francis , 2019 , Article)Ropinirole hydrochloride (RH) is an anti-Parkinson drug with relativity low oral bioavailability owing to its extensive hepatic first pass metabolism. Spray-dried mucoadhesive alginate microspheres of RH were developed and ...
