NON-INVASIVE IONTOPHORETIC DELIVERY OF CYTOCHROME C TO THE POSTERIOR SEGMENT AND DETERMINATION OF ITS OCULAR BIODISTRIBUTION

Non-Invasive Iontophoretic Delivery of Cytochrome c to the Posterior Segment and Determination of Its Ocular Biodistribution

The intact porcine eye globe model was used to demonstrate that transscleral iontophoresis could deliver a small protein, cytochrome c (Cyt c), to the posterior segment and to investigate post-iontophoretic biodistribution in the different ocular compartments.The effects of Cyt c concentration (1, 5, and 10 mg/mL), current density (3.5 and 5.5 mA/c

Improving Hydrophilicity and Inducing Bone-Like Apatite Formation on PPBES by Polydopamine Coating for Biomedical Application

Copoly(phthalazinone biphenyl ether sulfone) (PPBES) as a commercially available polyarylether is a promising orthopaedic implant material because its mechanical properties are similar to bone.However, the bioinert surface of polyarylether causes some 3701129802670 clinical problems after implantation, which limits its application as an implant mat
