The role of lipid particle-laden interfaces in regulating the co-delivery of two hydrophobic actives from o/w emulsions by Georgia I. Sakellari, Hannah Batchelor, Fotis Spyropoulos

“…Herein, the capacity to provide such control was explored by utilizing Pickering emulsions stabilized by lipid particles, namely solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs). These dual functional species, regarding their concurrent Pickering stabilization and active carrying/delivery capabilities, were formulated with different solid lipid and surfactant types, and the effect on the release and co-release modulation of two hydrophobic actives separately encapsulated within the lipid particles themselves and within the emulsion droplets was investigated. …”

MOG35 − 55-induced EAE model of optic nerve inflammation compared to MS, MOGAD and NMOSD related subtypes of human optic neuritis by Erin N. Capper, Edward F. Linton, Jeffrey J. Anders, Randy H. Kardon, Oliver W. Gramlich

“…Among the resources utilized to study ON, animal models have emerged as powerful tools to examine the underlying pathophysiology and the effectiveness of proposed therapies. In the current review, we discuss the functional and structural phenotypes related to ON in currently used mouse models, and summarize how the pathophysiology and visual phenotype of the myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein 35–55 (MOG35 − 55) experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) mouse model recapitulates clinical features of multiple sclerosis (MS), myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD), and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). …”

INCREASING THE INVESTMENT ATTRACTIVENESS OF THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR IN RUSSIA by V. A. Tsvetkov, A. A. Shut’kov, M. N. Dudin, N. V. Lyasnikov

“…The practical purpose and scientific value of the article are to build a holistic and logical vision in solving the problems of increasing the investment attractiveness of the agricultural sector.We highlighted a number of latent factors that limit the investment attractiveness of the agricultural sector: high debt burden of enterprises, low innovative activity, the use of outdated technologies, inefficient organization and use of outdated approaches to the management of agricultural enterprises and of the industry as a whole.The article concludes that institutional changes and reforms are needed, which should be directed: first, to change the sectoral structure by increasing the level of technological effectiveness of agricultural production; second, to change the role of the state in the processes of functioning and development of the industry (the gradual rejection of protectionism in favor of competition).…”
