Polymeric hydrogels are important biomaterials with potential for various applications including the controlled release of drugs. Clay and zeolite nanostructures can enhance the absorption and release properties of hydrogels. ...

Alginate is widely used in food industry due to its numerous properties such as thickening capacity, ability to form hydrogels, films, and coatings. Besides, alginic acid and its salts are authorized for their use in a ...

This work aimed to develop a calcium alginate hydrogel as a pH responsive delivery system for polymyxin B (PMX) sustained-release through the vaginal route. Two samples of sodium alginate from different suppliers were ...

Alginate-based polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) and hydrogel were engineered as platforms for local bevacizumab (BVZ) therapy. This study provides deep comprehension on the microstructures of such systems, and their ...

In this study, the hydrogel formulations based on polysaccharide sodium alginate were investigated for further development of intercalated nanocomposite hydrogels, for purposes of future applications in the areas of health ...

A liquid extract of yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis), with antioxidant properties was encapsulated in calcium-alginate hydrogels containing corn starch as filler at different concentrations. Hydrogel beads were characterized ...

Hydrogels are polymeric materials that have been applied in the controlled release system. The formation of the three-dimensional network may extend the release process. The objective of this study was to optimize the ...

Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy applied to solid tumors is a promising strategy, yet, the challenge to deliver these agents at high drug concentrations together with the maintenance of therapeutic ...
