AI Article Synopsis
- The review outlines the characteristics of colloidal and vesicular systems that facilitate enzyme immobilization.
- It examines the thermodynamics involved in the immobilization of specific enzymes, like laminarinase and chitinase, within liposomes.
- These systems offer protection for enzymes against environmental damage while enabling precise release, making them useful for applications like controlling plant-pathogenic fungi.
Article Abstract
The present review describes the basic properties of colloidal and vesicular vehicles that can be used for immobilization of enzymes. The thermodynamic aspects of the immobilization of enzymes (laminarinase and chitinase) in liposomes are discussed. These systems protect enzymes against environmental stress and allow for a controlled and targeted release. The diversity of colloidal and vesicular carriers allows the use of enzymes for different purposes, such as mycolytic enzymes used to control phytopathogenic fungi.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the colloidal stability of phosphatidylglucose (P-Glu) compared to phosphatidylcholine (PC) lipids, with a focus on how different acyl groups affect their properties.
- P-Glu with different fatty acids (palmitic, stearic, oleic) was synthesized and analyzed using advanced imaging techniques, revealing diverse morphologies: unilamellar and multilamellar vesicles, depending on the acyl composition.
- The findings demonstrate that the bilayer thickness and lamellar spacing vary with acyl group type, indicating that P-Glu exhibits unique structural properties compared to PC lipids, with potential implications for food and pharmaceutical formulations.

Interferon α (IFNα) and interferon γ (IFNγ) play pivotal roles in mediating crucial biological functions, including antiviral activity and immune regulation. However, the efficacy of monomeric IFN is limited, and its administration relies solely on injection. To address this issue, we successfully expressed and purified a recombinant porcine IFNα and IFNγ fusion protein (rPoIFNα/γ).

Introduction: Atorvastatin (ATV), a medication used to reduce cholesterol levels, possesses properties that can counteract the damaging effects of free radicals and reduce inflammation. However, the administration of ATV orally is associated with low systemic bioavailability due to its limited capacity to dissolve in water and significant first-pass effect. This study aimed to assess the appropriateness of employing nano-vesicles for transdermal administration of ATV in order to enhance its anti-inflammatory effects.

Therapeutically effective and biocompatible dermal formulations that can ensure localization of a high level of antimicrobial drug at the site of action for an appropriate duration, while at the same time providing intrinsic reepithelization properties, are of particular importance for the treatment of infected and injured skin. The current research aimed to explore the potentials of using vesicular phospholipid gels (VPGs), semisolid formulations consisting of tightly packed liposomes (100-200 nm), as innovative local depot drug vehicles for advanced topical dermatotherapy. Ciprofloxacin hydrocholoride (CPX) was selected as a model hydrophilic antibacterial drug and was loaded into several VPGs, differing in their composition.
