Abstract:
The present invention discloses an oral administration form comprising an association of Fe(II) and Cu(II). The oral administration form finds advantageous application as a food supplement for the supplementation of iron and copper, without side effects for the stomach and intestine.
Abstract:
Spheroid microtissues can mimic native tissue-like structure and function, and are thus useful for broad research applications and regenerative medicine. Disclosed embodiments include spheroid production methods that are high-throughput, suitable for efficient production, maintainable over long-term culture, and/or offer repeatable control over size distribution. Embodiments disclosed include spheroids that include blood vessels, which are proven useful for tissue survival and function. Embodiments include spheroids with functional, blood-perfused vascular networks upon injection in vivo. Dissolvable hydrogel microwell arrays enable high throughput parallel formation of spheroids in a single pipetting step and easy retrieval for downstream applications. Dynamic culture conditions stimulated endothelial cell and mesenchymal stem cell cocultures to self-organize and form blood-vessel structures within the spheroids. Vascularized spheroids were injected into mice and rapid perfusion of implant vessels within 4-7 days were observed.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to microvesicles derived from a protoplast which is a bacterial, archaea, fungal or plant cell or the like from which a cell wall is removed. The microvesicles derived from a protoplast of the present invention enables free loading of a material necessary for diagnosis, treatment, vaccine, target induction, cell membrane fusion with a target cell, reduction of in vivo and in vitro side effects, stability improvement, and the like, and allows the therapeutic material, the diagnostic material and/or the vaccine material to be delivered specifically to a specific tissue or cell.
Abstract:
Provided is a complex formulation for the prevention or treatment of cardiovascular diseases, comprising: a) aspirin coated with a barrier containing a hydrophobic additive; and b) an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, which has improved storage stability by preventing the deterioration in the stability of HMG-CoA reductase which is caused by salicylic acid, thereby being used in the treatment of hypertension and hypercholesterolemia.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an agglomerated particle enrobed in a hydrophobic coating composition comprised of highly hydrogenated oils, waxes, and glycerides. The particle is specifically comprised of one or more biological agents of nutritional or biological value to a ruminant, which are agglomerated with a binder. The particle is specifically formed to have a substantially round surface with minimal surface irregularities. Thus, the particle is more uniformly coated with the hydrophobic coating composition, and the biological agents are better insulated from the degradation within the rumen.
Abstract:
A formulation containing an active substance encapsulated within an exine shell of a naturally occurring spore, together with a protective additive which is also encapsulated within the exine shell.
Abstract:
Dietary supplements comprising at least one probiotic and at least one of animal digest, dried brewers yeast, vitamin C; vitamin E, beta carotene, zinc proteinate, manganese proteinate, ferrous sulfate, copper proteinate, calcium iodate, and sodium selenite. The probiotics and other ingredients are present in the supplement in amounts sufficient to enhance the palatability of the probiotics and compositions containing the probiotics, enhance the immune system to augment the beneficial effects of the probiotics, or extend the life of the probiotics.
Abstract:
In one aspect, provided herein are whole spores engineered to capsulate a compound(s) or substance(s). In certain embodiments, the whole spore encapsulating the compound(s) or substance(s) is coated with or co-encapsulated with a hydrogel or other agent(s) to control the rate release of the compound(s) or substance(s) from the spore. In another aspect, provided herein are methods of producing whole spores encapsulating a compound(s) or substance(s). In another aspect, provided herein are formulations comprising either a whole spore, or a whole spore encapsulating a compound(s) or substance(s), and uses of those formulations.
Abstract:
Provided are novel methods and compositions for administration of pharmaceuticals to subjects with dysphagia. Pharmaceuticals are associated with beads and administered with food, beverage or cosmetic to provide ease of administration to subjects with dysphagia. Environmental indicators are associated with beads for Quality Assurance.
