To improve the topical delivery of pilocarpine hydrochloride (PN) to treat glaucoma, flexible nano-liposomes containing PN (PN-FLs) were prepared, optimized and characterized. Artificial neural network (ANN) and response surface methodology (RSM) wer...
Robotic square wave voltammetry (SVW) in 24-well microtiter plates has been developed as a reliable non-manual procedure for quantifying drug release from pharmaceutical hydrogels. The assay was established using 1% agarose disks containing Paracetam...
In the past decade, versatile micro- and nanosized machines have emerged as active agents for large-scale detoxification, sensing, microfabrication, and many other promising applications. Micromachines have also been envisioned as the next advancemen...
