Combination of self-assembling system and N,O-carboxymethyl chitosan improves ocular residence of anti-glaucoma drug
Eur J Pharm Biopharm. 2024 Feb 7:114208. doi: 10.1016/j.ejpb.2024.114208. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGlaucoma is known to be one of the principal causes of vision loss due to elevated intraocular pressure. Currently, latanoprost eye drops is used as first-line treatment for glaucoma; however, it possesses low bioavailability due to rapid precorneal clearance. A novel delivery system with a mucoadhesive property could overcome this problem. Therefore, we attempt to develop a combination of self-assembling latanoprost nanomicelles (Latcel) and a mucoadhesive polymer (N,O-carboxymethyl chitosan: N,O-CMC) to improve the cor...

GSE248319 Lysine tRNA fragments and miR-194-5p co-regulate hepatic steatosis via β-Klotho and Perilipin 2 (small RNA II)
Contributors : Yonat Tzur ; Hermona SoreqSeries Type : Non-coding RNA profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Mus musculusNon-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) involves hepatic accumulation of intracellular lipid droplets via incompletely understood processes. Here, we report distinct and cooperative NAFLD roles of LysTTT-5 ’tRF transfer RNA fragments and microRNA miR-194-5p. Unlike lean animals, dietary-induced NAFLD mice showed concurrent hepatic decrease of both LysTTT-5’tRF and miR-194-5p levels, which were restored following miR-132 antisense oligonucleotide treatment which suppresses hepatic steat...
