Protein fingerprinting made easy by Croatian scientists
Zagreb, 12.12.2007. - Combining some traditional
experimental methods of molecular biology with computational methods of
artificial intelligence, a group of researchers from Ruđer Bošković
Instititute and Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics from
Zagreb, Croatia, demonstrated a novel approach for producing ‘protein
fingerprints’ of diverse tissues. This result could lead to the
development of new convenient methods in medical diagnostics.
Various types of vesicular systems such as liposomes, niosomes, transfersomes, and pharmacosomes, etc, have been developed in the transport and targeting of active agents. Pharmacosomes are the colloidal dispersions of drugs covalently bound to lipids, and may exist as ultrafine vesicular, Micellar, or hexagonal aggregates, depending on the chemical structure of drug-lipid complex.
