• Characterization of micelles and liposomes using the Eclipse AF4 separation system coupled to a DAWN HELEOS II MALS detector
  

  Micelles and liposomes can serve as vehicles used to solubilize and carry bioactive compounds to their site of action, thus increasing their bioavailability. First experience has been made using vitamins and enzymes as functional food additives. Moreover, micelles could be useful to deliver drugs to a defined site of action, thus reducing frequently occurring side effects of systemic drug administration. Micelles are true nano-materials with a size range of 10 to 30 nm in diameter. Ideally, they should have a narrow size distribution. Furthermore, they have to be stable and should release their active compound only in the target region. Characterization of the micelle suspensions is vital to guarantee these properties and has to cover several aspects. One important point is size distribution, which has to be determined with high resolution more

• Enabling Cancer Research with FuGENE® HD Transfection Reagent
  

  A major problem in some areas of cancer research is the difficulty of transfecting a significant number of the cells of interest, while minimizing the cytotoxic or other off-target effects of the transfection event itself. It is well-known that the use of some transfection reagents results in high levels of expression of the gene of interest in surviving cells, but also in high levels of cell death or other cellular alterations. FuGENE® HD Transfection Reagent overcomes these problems, results in high ­levels of transfection in many cancer cell lines, and thus enables researchers to conduct experiments that have previously not been possible. more

• New Silicone Technologies for Skin Care
  

  In today's competitive skin care market, consumers look for a range of benefits, superior aesthetics and cost effectiveness. In response, formulators strive to create products that are multifunctional, easy to use and effective in small quantities. At the same time, the most successful products deliver benefits that stand out from those of the competition. Creams, lotions and color cosmetics must be easy to spread and comfortable to wear, without feeling tacky or greasy. Silicones have been popular ingredients in skin care products for more than fifty years. These versatile materials are known for their emolliency, wetting and spreading characteristics and ability to provide unique aesthetics. As technology continues to evolve, silicones increasingly offer multifunctional, high performance properties. This article reviews some of the newest silicone technologies available for the formulation of innovative skin care products more
