Original Source: Intra-Articular Microparticles for Drug Delivery to the TMJ.
This study describes he in vivo biocompatibility of intra-articular poly(DL-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microparticle (MP) formulations in the rat temporomandibular joint (TMJ). To our knowledge, this is the first intra-articular microparticle-based drug delivery system for the TMJ. The impact of PLGA MP concentration on rat TMJ function was quantified via computerized meal pattern analysis; in this non-invasive technique, previously validated markers of TMJ pain or nociception (specifically, meal durat...

BASF sells chitosan biz to firm with eye on pharma
BASF has sold its chitosan biopolymers business to Norway-based Seagarden ASA continuing the divestiture of the non-core units it acquired as part of Cognis in 2010.
Type: Original PaperElectrospinning was employed to fabricate chitosan microspheres by a single-step encapsulation of proteins without organic solvents. Chitosan in acetic acid was electrospun toward...
Antigen-encapsulated chitosan particles improve immune response
Biomedical engineering researchers have encapsulated two types of protein antigens in chitosan and demonstrated that the combined material enables or improves three important immune responses.
Type: Original PaperShortage of functional groups on surface of poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA)-based drug delivery carriers always hampers its wide applications such as passive targeting and conjug...
Injection Site Infections Join Meningitis, Joint Infections from Tainted Drugs
As if the more than 14,000 people who were potentially exposed to tainted injectable drugs through back or joint injections don't have enough on their plate, public health officials announced Nov. 20...

Cell penetrating chitosan/doxorubicin/TAT conjugates for efficient cancer therapy.
In this study, a cell-penetrating peptide, the transactivating transcriptional factor (TAT) domain from HIV, was linked to a chitosan/doxorubicin (chitosan/DOX) conjugate to form a chitosan/DOX/TAT hy...
Synergistic Antimicrobial Activities of Natural Essential Oils with Chitosan Films.
The synergistic antimicrobial activities of three natural essential oils (i.e., clove bud oil, cinnamon oil, and star anise oil) with chitosan films were investigated. Cinnamon oil had the best antimi...
Complexation of copper(II) with chitosan nanogels: Toward control of microbial growth.
Pure chitosan nanogels were produced, used to adsorb copper(II), and their antimicrobial activities were assessed. The complexation of copper(II) with chitosan solutions and dispersions was studied us...
This study investigated the antimicrobial effect of a chitosan coating+allyl isothiocyanate (AIT) and nisin against Salmonella on whole fresh cantaloupes. Cantaloupes were inoculated with a cocktail o...
The adsorption behavior and mechanism of chitosan in aqueous LiOH solution was studied systemically. The results showed that the adsorption of chitosan was mainly due to the breakage of its hydrogen b...
