Underpinned by pharmaceutical-industry estimates that approximately 40% of lipophilic therapeutic molecules are rejected because of their poor aqueous solubility and formulation-stability issues, one of the main challenges facing modern pharmaceutical science is the development of carrier vehicles for the extended delivery of such drug candidates. Additional impetus for such research activities is ...

It became evident over the last 20 years that glial cells are involved in virtually every aspect of nervous system function. Neurons and glia exchange chemical signals that are essential for the normal function of the nervous system, and are crucial in disease. Recently it was discovered that glial cells also act as neural stem cells both in early development and adulthood, and in synapse formatio ...
