The retinoid fenretinide (FENR) is a promising compound for preventing breast cancer recurrence but faces challenges due to poor solubility and low bioavailability. This study explores the development of dissolving microneedles (MNs) containing FENR-loaded ethosomes for minimally invasive breast cancer chemoprevention, aiming to enhance local drug distribution. Ethosomes were formulated using ethanol, propylene glycol, soya lecithin, water, and polysorbate 80 micelles.

The development of carrier-based delivery systems for oral administration of retinoic acid (RA), that provides its release and absorption at intestinal level, is of major relevance in the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia. The aim of this work was to evaluate RA bioaccessibility and intestinal transport on ethyl cellulose (EC)- and EC + polyethylene glycol (ECP)-based microparticles and to understand the impact of meal co-ingestion by applying in vitro assays. RA-loaded microparticles were produced by spray-drying with an encapsulation efficiency higher than 90 % for both formulations.

Objectives: Spermatogenesis, in which cell regeneration continues, can be affected by environmental, chemical, psychological factors or various diseases. There is conflicting information in the literature about the effect of isotretinoin, which is widely used in acne treatment, on testes and spermatogenesis. Therefore, we planned a rat study to evaluate the long-term efficacy of oral isotretinoin on testicular tissues and spermatogenesis.

Photooxidation has long been affecting nutrient and sensory quality of fluid milk. Light oxidation starts from the activation of photosensitive compounds, followed by generation of singlet oxygen that reacts with vitamins, proteins, and lipids in milk. It is hypothesized that wavelength-tailored light schemes possessing spectral properties capable of avoiding excitation maxima of common photosensitizers in milk could slow the chemical degradation of light-exposed milk and thus preserve consumer acceptability.

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that is a crucial mediator of the immune system. In this study, we evaluated the effect of oral vitamin A supplementation on host immune responses to infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) infection in chickens. Forty 1-day-old specific pathogen-free (SPF) chickens were fed a basal diet and randomly divided into 2 groups (n = 20 birds per group).
