Journal ArticleDOI
Drug release kinetics and transport mechanisms of non-degradable and degradable polymeric delivery systems
Yao Fu,Weiyuan John Kao +1 more
TL;DR: An overview of structure-function relationships of selected non-degradable and degradable polymers as drug delivery matrices is provided to help elucidate the solute transport mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vivo biocompatibility and biostability of modified polyurethanes
A. B. Mathur,Terry O. Collier,Weiyuan John Kao,Michael J. Wiggins,Mark A. Schubert,A. Hiltner,James M. Anderson +6 more
TL;DR: Material characterization, postimplantation, was done by attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) in order to quantify biodegradation and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to qualitatively describe the cellular response and biodegrades.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developmental toxicity of low generation PAMAM dendrimers in zebrafish.
TL;DR: The zebrafish embryo is used as a rapid, medium throughput, cost-effective whole-animal model to provide a more comprehensive and predictive developmental toxicity screen for nanomaterials such as PAMAM dendrimers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dendrimers for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications.
Hu Yang,Weiyuan John Kao +1 more
TL;DR: This review discusses several aspects of dendrimers, including preparation, d endrimer-drug coupling chemistry, structural models of dendedrimers-based drug delivery systems, and physicochemical and toxicological properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
3D cell entrapment in crosslinked thiolated gelatin-poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate hydrogels.
TL;DR: Covalently crosslinked ECM protein with synthetic matrix creates a stable scaffold with tunable mechanical properties and with long-term cell anchorage points, thus supporting cell attachment and growth in the 3D environment.
