Previous studies by our laboratory have suggested the potential role of receptor-mediated
endocytosis components in the cellular translocation of riboflavin (vitamin B2). To delineate …

This study addresses the transport mechanism of riboflavin (vitamin B2) across intestinal
epithelium in the presence and absence of pharmacologically active compounds. A …

The role of riboflavin in cell maintenance and growth, and the mechanism by which it is
absorbed into various human tissues and cell lines has been extensively studied over the …

Cell surface receptors for the vitamins folic acid and biotin have been previously reported to
mediate the endocytosis of vitamin-conjugated macromolecules into cultured cells. To …

Riboflavin (vitamin B2, RF) is taken up in eukaryotic cells via specialized transport
mechanisms. Although RF has fluorescence properties, direct microscopic visualization of …

The retention and cellular internalization of drug delivery systems and theranostics for
cancer therapy can be improved by targeting molecules. Since an increased uptake of …

Drug delivery to the retina is a challenging task owing to its complex physiology and
presence of the blood-retinal barrier (BRB), which regulates the permeation of substances …

Riboflavin is an important water soluble vitamin (B2) required for metabolic reactions,
normal cellular growth, differentiation and function. Mammalian brain cells cannot …

MDCK cells, when examined by low-light level video microscopy displayed an endogenous
fluorescence with two differing patterns. A low intensity emission which was punctate and …

The previous in vivo study revealed the carrier-mediated transport of riboflavin (vitamin B 2)
across the blood-retinal barrier (BRB). In the present study, the blood-to-retina supply of …
