The use of chemical permeation enhancers (PEs) is the most widely tested approach to
improve oral absorption of low permeability active agents, as represented by peptides …

Results obtained from recent studies on the preparation and application of fatty acid vesicles
are reviewed, focusing on some of the particular properties of fatty acid vesicles in …

Fatty acids have been investigated as boundary structures to construct artificial cells due to
their dynamic properties and phase transitions. Here we have explored the possibility that …

A major challenge in oral drug delivery is the development of novel dosage forms to promote
absorption of poorly permeable drugs across the intestinal epithelium. To date, no …

Self-assembled vesicles are essential components of primitive cells. We review the
importance of vesicles during the origins of life, fundamental thermodynamics and kinetics of …

Although aqueous solutions are considered to be sustainable, environmentally friendly
reaction media, their use is often limited by poor reactant solubility. This limitation can be …

This review highlights the relevant issues of spontaneous formation of vesicles. Both the
common characteristics and the differences between liposomes and vesicles are given. The …

Dispersions of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) assisted by surfactant adsorption
were prepared for a number of ionic and non-ionic surfactants including sodium 4 …

The prebiotic organization of chemicals into compartmentalized ensembles is an essential
step to understand the transition from inert molecules to living matter. Compartmentalization …

Hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have been recently introduced and
acknowledged to offer remarkable advantages over the common organic solvents, thanks to …
