4A: Panel Discussion: New Product Concept to Market: Influence of Investment and Proper Commercial Valuation

4B: Drug Delivery (SIG)

Timeslot: Thursday, April 20, 2023 - 1:30pm to 3:30pm
Room: Silver Pearl 2

About

The Drug Delivery Special Interest Group will deal with the science and technology of controlled release of active agents from delivery systems. Controlled drug release is achieved by the use of diffusion, chemical reactions, dissolutions or osmosis, used either singly or in combination. While the vast majority of such delivery devices are based on polymers, controlled release can also be achieved by the use of mechanical pumps. In a broader sense, controlled release also involves control over the site of action of the active agent, using the active agent using pro-drugs, targetable water soluble polymers or various microparticulate systems. Relevant aspects of toxicology, bioavailability, pharmacokinetics, and biocompatibility are also included.

4E: Nanomaterials (SIG)

Timeslot: Thursday, April 20, 2023 - 1:30pm to 3:30pm
Room: Coral 3-4

About

In this study, we show the effect of various LED wavelengths (blue, green, red and near infrared (NIR)) as physical regulators for gene delivery to stem cells by promoting nanomaterials behavior and regulating cell membrane permeability.
The size of nanoparticles produced with various LED wavelengths was evaluated in the colloidal state (agglomeration to single form). And physical stimulation of cell membranes using two type of LED wavelengths (blue and NIR) enhanced penetration of extracellular substances. The regulation of nanoparticles size and cell membrane permeability effectively increased the gene delivery to cells and protein expression by accelerating transfection process (cellular uptake, endosomal escape, PEI-gene dissociation).
LED effects on nanoparticles was confirmed using DLS, SEM, and Nanosight. In addition, cell membrane permeability was assessed by confocal laser microscopy, FACS and then transfection efficiency was demonstrated using confocal laser microscopy, FACS and Western blot.
Reduction of nanoparticles size by LED have potential value for stem cell therapy as LED-induced gene delivery system. Also, by increasing the cell membrane permeability, extracellular substances that cannot easily penetrate the cell membrane can be delivered effectively.
