Cosmetics are an essential part of our daily routine, helping us look and feel our best. However, have you ever wondered what goes into these magical potions that make them so effective? Cosmetic ingredients play a crucial role in determining the quality and effectiveness of the product. From surfactants to moisturizers, each element has its unique function and benefits. In this article, we will ...
Microneedles (MN) is a new type of physical permeability-enhancing technology. It consists of multiple micron-scale fine needle tips connected to the base in an array. The needle body is generally 10-2000 microns high and 10-50 microns wide. The length, size and shape of the microneedles can be individually designed according to the needs of the application. When the microneedle delivers the ...
Every day, we come into contact with a wide variety of detergents commonly used in households, including fabric cleaners, kitchen cleaners, and personal hygiene cleaners. Understanding the different types of detergents and their applications can help us make informed decisions about how we clean and maintain our homes. Fabric Detergents The dirt that accumulates on our clothes and linens can be a ...
This case study illustrates designing and fabricating silicone bolus using the Adaptiiv software solution. This flexible silicone bolus fabrication process was then compared to the fabrication process of a rigid 3D printed bolus to determine whether it yielded comparable or improved plan metrics for treating an inner canthus ...
Summary In this Cell Patterns publication, Ozette co-founders and collaborators at the Cancer Immunotherapy Trials Network (CITN) outline a novel method of analysis of single cell data, FAUST, and validate the multiple potential applications. The paper tackles 2 important problems: 1) analysis of complex single cell datasets; 2) prediction of response to immunotherapy in cancer. Manual ...
16S/18S/ITS amplicon sequencing has now been a well-established method. Due to its low cost, shorter cycle and low quality requirement of the sample, 16S/18S/ITS amplicon sequencing is widely used in the study of microorganisms. 16S/18S/ITS amplicon sequencing reveals the species of microorganisms in environmental samples and their differences, relative abundance, population structure and ...
Liposomes have a phospholipid bilayer structure similar to cell membranes. Liposomes are closed ultramicrospheres, similar to an organelle-free artificial cell (only with cell membranes). The artificially manufactured liposome structure is also very similar to the exosomes and vesicles existing in nature. It is precisely due to this property similar to biofilm that it can be used as an efficient, ...
Unlike the body’s reparative healing response for deep wounds, which is chaotic, NovoSorb® BTM is unique in its ability to reorient the healing process from repair into regeneration. NovoSorb BTM is designed to promote the organized generation of a robust vascularized neodermis, designed to minimize scarring and contracture, thus improving functional and cosmetic patient outcomes. ...
Blueberry were recently invited to write two commentaries on the challenges of treating skin and nail diseases and the potential for nanotechnology approaches in dermal drug delivery. Here we share a brief overview of these articles. We will all have encountered someone who is dealing with or has previously experienced a common ailment of the skin or nails, such as eczema (atopic dermatitis), ...
When trauma to the skin occurs, large areas of both the skin’s surface (epidermis) and deeper layers (dermis) may be destroyed. In many cases, large full-thickness wounds may require temporization due to the lack of suitable donor sites for primary skin grafting. Clinical research[1] indicates the temporization of deep, large wounds with dermal scaffolds can not only help provide ...
A suture is one of the most commonly used devices by doctors during surgery. Also referred to as stitches, sutures are sterile surgical threads used to repair cuts or wounds to your skin and other tissues. They can be used to close incisions from surgery or wounds from trauma. However, it’s important to note that not all wounds are closed with sutures; metal staples are also used in some ...
Despite breast cancer being the second most common cancer for women in the US, progress in the breast imaging space has been stagnant over the last few decades. This is evident in the countless women who are still misdiagnosed – either receiving a false positive or getting diagnosed in the later stages of the disease. Why Early Detection is Important According to the National Breast ...
The New Standard for Blood Culture Collection Sepsis, is a life-threatening condition caused when the body’s response to an infection goes out of balance, which triggers changes that damage other organs. This deadly infection affects almost 1.7 million people a year in the U.S. and kills nearly 270,000 people. To date, blood cultures remain the gold standard for determining if a patient ...
