  •  27 July 2025

Graphical Abstract

In Vitro Assessment of a Paclitaxel-Poly(Caprolactone) Drug Delivery System in Endometrial Cancer Issue 8, 2025

Polymeric particles loaded with paclitaxel or rhodamine B facilitate the sustained release of cargo over time. The cell viability and the intracellular uptake are impacted by the dose, specifically higher doses result in greater cell uptake and decreased cell viability. Figure generated using BioRender.

Graphical Abstract

Influence of Diol Chain Length on Various Properties of Citric Acid Polyesters/PLA Electrospun Nonwovens for Tissue Engineering Applications Issue 8, 2025

Poly(diol citrates) present good electrospinning processability when used with PLA and exhibit increased hydrophilicity and surface adhesion forces compared to PLA nonwovens. Diol chain length influences the heterogeneity of its distribution within the carrier polymer. Degradation tests show the problem of nonwoven stability. Addressing this issue is important in controlling the degradation kinetics and the cell scaffold performance.

Influence of ionizable lipid tail length on lipid nanoparticle delivery of mRNA of varying length

Kaitlin Mrksich, Marshall S. Padilla, Ryann A. Joseph, Emily L. Han, Dongyoon Kim, Rohan Palanki, Junchao Xu, Michael J. Mitchell, 

Graphical Abstract

Influence of ionizable lipid tail length on lipid nanoparticle delivery of mRNA of varying length Issue 9, 2024

In this study, we optimize the alkyl tails of ionizable lipids for LNP-mediated delivery of three mRNAs of varying sizes in vivo. Different IL tail lengths were found to be ideal for transfection of LNPs encapsulating the three mRNAs tested. We envision that the results of this project can be utilized as future design criteria for the next generation of LNPs.

3D printed scaffolds with quercetin and vitamin D3 nanocarriers: In vitro cellular evaluation

Susmita Bose, Vishal Sharad Chaudhari, Priya Kushram, 

Graphical Abstract

3D printed scaffolds with quercetin and vitamin D3 nanocarriers: In vitro cellular evaluation Issue 12, 2024

Graphical abstract illustrating the integration of quercetin and vitamin D3 loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (QVD-SLN) into a 3D-printed scaffold. The release of QVD-SLN enhances the scaffold's biological properties, leading to improved bone healing.
