Biophys J: Reaction diffusion model of the enzymatic erosion of insoluble fibrillar matrices

Tzafriri, A.R., M. Bercovier, and H. Parnas. Reaction diffusion model of the enzymatic erosion of insoluble fibrillar matrices. Summary: Predicting the time course of in vivo biodegradation is a key issue in the design of an increasing number of biomedical applications such as sutures, tissue analogs and drug-delivery devices. The design of such biodegradable devices is […]

Circulation Research: Arterial ultrastructure influences transport of locally delivered drugs

Hwang CW, Edelman ER. Arterial ultrastructure influences transport of locally delivered drugs. Summary: An incomplete understanding of the transport forces and local tissue structures that modulate drug distribution has hampered local pharmacotherapies in many organ systems. These issues are especially relevant to arteries, where stent-based delivery allows fine control of locally directed drug release. Circulation Research. 2002 […]
