How agarose gels surrounding PLGA implants limit swelling and slow down drug release

C. Bassand et al.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of an agarose gel on the drug release kinetics of a PLGA implant. The presence of the gel was found to delay the onset of the second release phase of the drug, possibly due to the steric hindrance of implant swelling. These findings highlight the importance of PLGA swelling in controlling drug release.

Advances and future perspectives in epithelial drug delivery

Yousuf Mohammed et al.

Summary: Epithelial surfaces play a crucial role in protecting the body from foreign materials and can be utilized for drug delivery. The permeability of different epithelia varies based on their exposure and function. Advancements in epithelial drug delivery systems have been driven by quality-by-design approach and the growth of generic products.

In vitro and ex vivo models for evaluating vaginal drug delivery systems

Rachel L. Shapiro et al.

Summary: Vaginal drug delivery systems are preferred for treating female reproductive tract diseases with fewer systemic side effects, but face anatomical and biological barriers. In vitro and ex vivo models are crucial for evaluating these systems. Advanced model systems for other mucosa can inspire future development for the female reproductive tract.

3D printed estradiol-eluting urogynecological mesh implants: Influence of material and mesh geometry on their mechanical properties

Zara-Louise Farmer et al.

Summary: This study investigated the use of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) as an alternative material for surgical mesh implants instead of polypropylene (PP), and hormone-loaded meshes were produced using fused deposition modelling. The results showed that TPU meshes were more suitable for pelvic floor repair than PP, and 3D printed meshes exhibited linear release of 17-beta-estradiol (E2) over a two weeks period.

Collagen I triggers directional migration, invasion and matrix remodeling of stroma cells in a 3D spheroid model of endometriosis

Anna Stejskalova et al.

Summary: This study utilized endometrial spheroids to mimic the architecture of the endometrium and found that stromal spheroids exhibited coordinated directional migration on collagen I, resembling ectopic lesions. The spheroid assay proves to be a useful pre-clinical tool for evaluating potential treatments for endometriosis, including small molecule drugs and microRNA-based therapeutics.
