Simple and Customizable Gelatin Nanoparticle Encapsulation System for Biomedical Applications

Author(s):

Jewel Cary, Frank William Pierson and Abby R Whittington* 

Objective: The double desolvation technique has been used to encapsulate small, hydrophilic drugs with protein affinity in gelatin nanoparticles for many years. Expanding the types of materials that can be encapsulated would allow the double desolvation method to be used for a wider range of biomedical applications, including biological delivery. Methods: Here, we use the double desolvation technique to encapsulate two different sizes of polystyrene beads as a first step toward encapsulating biologics like viruses and nucleic acids of similar size, shape, zeta potential, and functional groups in a new delivery system. Drug delivery systems that are easy to produce and customizable to different biomedical applications are in demand. With these parameters in mind, we created a simple gela... view moreĀ»
