There is a need to formulate oral cetuximab (CTX) for targeting colorectal cancer, which is
reported to express somatostatin receptors (SSTRs). Therefore, coating CTX with a …

Gellan gum is a biocompatible and easily accessible polysaccharide with excellent
properties to produce microparticles as drug delivery systems. However, the production …

Alginate microbeads are extensively used in tissue engineering as microcarriers and cell
encapsulation vessels. In this study, we used atomic force microscopy (AFM) based …

Background Mathematical modelling may be able to reduce the number of in vitro

Alginate spheres complexed with various divalent cations and various counterions
associated with calcium were characterized mechanically and optically. Zinc exhibited the …

Lactose intolerance affects approximately 65% of the global adult population, leading to the
demand for lactose-free products. The enzyme β-galactosidase (βG) is commonly used in …

The use of biopolymers such as alginate has been growing in the last decades due to
properties such as biocompatibility, non-toxicity and biodegradability. In this work the …
