Check out our OPEN ACESS publication: “A nanoemulsion/micelles mixed nanosystem for the oral administration of hydrophobically modified insulin”
March 22, 2021You will find out about a nanoemulsion that enables the encapsulation of hydrophobically modified insulin. The lesson learned is that with a simple modification of a macromolecule of interest, you can achieve great encapsulation values in a nanoemulsion, a protection against degradation and an increased permeability. Chemistry of the cargo is something to consider when designing new formulations.

Check out our OPEN ACESS article on “Nano‐Oncologicals: A Tortoise Trail Reaching New Avenues”
March 11, 2021Nanotechnology is now opening new avenues for the treatment of cancer. Here we present a critical view on the potential of nanotechnology to improve the delivery of drugs (small molecules, monoclonal antibodies and RNA-based therapies) to tumor cells or to the tumor microenvironment. We foresee a future where the therapeutic strategy can be thoughtfully designed taking into account the tumor type, the immune status of the patient, and the nature of the active molecule. This is the era of personalized nanomedicine.
