An Electrospun Fiber Patch for Insulin Delivery in the Mouth and Eye
April 19, 2022 | Terry Sharrer
“. . . we [bioengineers at the University of Lille in France] have investigated the tremendous potential of reduced graphene oxide modified poly(acrylic acid) based fiber mats as an original platform for buccal and corneal insulin delivery on-demand. The PAA@rGO hydrogel-like fibers rendered water-insoluble by incorporating β-cyclodextrin, followed by thermal cross-linking, which showed adequate tensile strength along with high adsorption capacity of insulin at pH 7 and good recyclability. The fiber mats maintained good fibrous morphology and high loading efficiency even after five loading–release cycles.” MORE
