Zaveri pointed out that carrageenan was selected over gelatin (the traditional choice for semisoft suppositories) because it offers a number of important advantages.
Also it is more stable than gelatin at higher ambient temperatures common in tropical regions of the world.
For instance colloidal dispersions comprise such everyday items as paint milk gelatin glass and porcelain and for advanced engineering such as steering light in photonics.
#Gelatin Nanoparticles could Deliver Drugs to your Brain Stroke victims could have more time to seek treatment that could reduce harmful effects on the brain thanks to tiny blobs of gelatin that could deliver the medication to the brain non-invasively.
University of Illinois researchers and colleagues in South korea led by U. of I. electrical and computer engineering senior research scientist Hyungsoo Choi and professor Kyekyoon#Kevin#Kim published details about the gelatin
The researchers found that gelatin nanoparticles could be laced with medications for delivery to the brain
Gelatin is biocompatible biodegradable and classified as#Generally Recognized as Safe#by the Food and Drug Administration.
Once administered the gelatin nanoparticles target damaged brain tissue thanks to an abundance of gelatin-munching enzymes produced in injured regions.
Illinois professor Kyekyoon#Kevin#Kim graduate student Elizabeth Joachim and researchscientist Hyungsoo Choi developed tiny gelatin nanoparticles that can carry medicationto the brain which could lead to longer
The tiny gelatin particles have a huge benefit: They can be administered nasally a noninvasive and direct route to the brain.
#To test gelatin nanoparticles as a drug-delivery system the researchers used the drug osteopontin (OPN)
By lacing gelatin nanoparticles with OPN the researchers found that they could extend the treatment window in rats so much
The researchers hope the gelatin nanoparticles administered through the nasal cavity can help deliver other drugs to more effectively treat a variety of brain injuries and neurological diseases.#
#Gelatin nanoparticles are a delivery vehicle that could be used to deliver many therapeutics to the brain#Choi said.#
A gelatin-based ink acts as extracellular matrixhe structural mix of proteins and other biological molecules that surrounds cells in the body.
Two other inks contained the gelatin material and either mouse or human skin cells. All these inks are viscous enough to maintain their structure after being laid down by the printer.
The potentially lifesaving treatment comes in the form of a biodegradable gelatin substance that has been embedded with nano-sized silicate discs that aid in coagulation.
the research group developed porous films using pigskin-derived gelatin chemically modified with hexanoyl group that is believed to provide superb tissue adhesiveness and excellent bonding to growth factors.
When nanosilicates are incorporated into a gelatin matrix, several physical, chemical and biological properties of the hydrogel are enhanced,
For example, the hydrogel can be designed to remain at the injury site for specific durations by controlling the interactions between the nanosilicates and gelatin,
In 2002, the Japanese cryptographer Tsutomu Matsumoto showed that imitation fingerprints made cheaply from gelatin,
gelatin, glass, and porcelain, but their potential to create new materials remains largely untapped. Notably, DNA-coated colloids offer particular promise
which can rest on the surface of an agar plate, the researchers were able to amplify ultrasound waves
which a soil sample is diluted with agar, and a single bacterial cell is suspended in a chamber surrounded with semipermeable membrane.

The device is around the same mass as a 000-size gelatin capsule and powered by a capacitor that is charged up before use.
It is made from gelatin-based biomaterials reinforced with nanoparticles and seeded with cells, and it mimics the anatomical microenvironment of lymphoid tissue.
