A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF ELECTROPORATION IN MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY

When a high amplitude nanosecond electric field applied to a biological cell it disrupts the equilibrium of the phospholipid bilayer resulting in the permeability of the cell membrane to increase. This results in movement of extracellular material into the cell which otherwise cannot move inside the cell. This phenomenon is known as electroporation. In the initial years of research people concentr...

A REVIEW ON COLON TARGETED DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM

The oral route is considered to be the most preferred route for administration of drugs for systemic effect, but the oral route is not suitable to the administration of drug for lower gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, this happened due to their release at upper GI tract (stomach, small intestine), which further minimizes the accessibility of drugs at the lower GI tract. To overcome this difficulty, ...
