Innovative liposomes as a transfollicular drug delivery system: penetration into porcine hair follicles

The Journal of Investigative Dermatology
Sascha JungJürgen Lademann

Abstract

Liposomes had been widely used for drug delivery in the past. In this study, five different liposomes were used as a follicular delivery system in pig ear skin. The liposomes mainly differed in their sphere diameter, lipid composition, and surface charge. A novel class of liposomes being amphoteric in their charge behavior are compared to established anionic and cationic liposomes. Two different fluorescent dyes, hydrophilic carboxyfluoresceine or lipophilic curcumin, were enclosed in the liposomes and used as model drugs. The fluorescent dyes were also applied in a standard formulation for reference. The penetration depth of the dyes was measured by laser scanning microscopy in histological sections. One hour, 3, 5, and 7 days after application, biopsies were taken and the penetration depth into the hair follicle was measured in longitudinal sections. The liposomes showed a higher penetration depth compared to the standard formulation. The relative penetration depth of the dyes, applied in the standard formulation, averaged 30% of the full follicle length during the whole observation period, whereas the liposomal formulations penetrated considerably deeper into the hair follicles. Amphoteric and cationic liposomes reached an a...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.
