This study aims to evaluate the impact of formulation parameters on tannic acid-crosslinked gelatine (GelTA) films, intended as a mucoadhesive matrix for extended buccal drug delivery. GelTA films were prepared using the solvent evaporation technique and screened based on their mucoadhesive and dissolution characteristics. The formulation variables included the source of gelatine (bovine and fish), tannic acid concentration, pH of the film-forming solutions, and the type and concentration of plasticisers.

Article Synopsis
  • Pre-patterning in embryo development is common in non-mammalian species, but mammals were thought to lack this due to their regulative development, which randomly contributes to the three blastocyst lineages.
  • Recent studies show that early blastomeres in mouse and human embryos actually have distinct developmental fates and differences in protein levels, challenging the previous notion of randomness.
  • Utilizing advanced proteomics, researchers found that 2-cell embryos contain alpha and beta blastomeres with different protein abundances linked to their developmental potential, with beta blastomeres more likely to produce higher amounts of epiblast cells.

The study focuses on the preparation and characterisation (physicochemical and mechanical) of hydroxyapatite [Ca(PO)(OH)] (HA) from sea urchin, . Therefore, nano-sized HA prepared from sea urchin shells were collected from beaches of the Persian Gulf in Iran. Sea urchin shells were found a source of calcium carbonate in the form of aragonite (calcite) that crystallised in an organic matrix.

Background: Dentistry practice has become more complex and challenging in the recent years. The clinical decision-making process has experienced many problems due to changing socioeconomic patterns, knowledgeable patients, rapid technological advances, and information explosion. The present study reviewed the status of the attitude toward evidence-based dentistry (EBD) among dental students of Iran Universities.
