Latex-collagen membrane: an alternative treatment for tibial bone defects

Marcela Britto de Paiva et al.

Summary: Due to the difficulty and high cost of therapy for bony defects or post-traumatic diseases, guided bone regeneration using natural rubber latex and latex-collagen membranes has been explored as a viable solution in orthopedics. This study developed and characterized NRL and NRL-COL membranes, and evaluated their effects on bone regeneration in rat tibial lesions. Results showed that NRL-COL exhibited the best performance in terms of bone volume.

Improved Dermal and Transdermal Delivery of Curcumin with SmartFilms and Nanocrystals

Ralph W. Eckert et al.

Summary: The study used smartFilm technology to improve the dermal penetration efficacy of curcumin, showing better results compared to nanosuspensions and bulk suspensions. Increasing the number of curcumin particles in the suspensions was found to increase the passive dermal penetration. These findings suggest a new dermal penetration mechanism for active compounds from nano-particulate drug delivery systems, which could lead to the development of topical drug products with improved penetration efficacy in the future.
