Glucose-Powered Ultrasmall Chemotactic Nanorobots for Retinal Degeneration Treatment

Retinal degeneration poses a growing global health challenge with limited effective treatments. Current options, such as intravitreal injections of therapeutic drugs, are severely constrained by the vitreous humor barrier, a dense, gel-like matrix that limits drug diffusion to the retina. Micro/nanorobots with active propulsion have emerged as promising platforms for targeted drug delivery to overcome …

Determination of cyclodextrin content using periodate oxidation by capillary electrophoresis

A simple and general method suitable for the determination of cyclodextrin content in various matrices is described. The proposed method involves selective cleavage of C-C bonds with vicinal hydroxyl groups by means of periodate (Malaprade’s reaction). The amount of produced iodate is monitored by capillary electrophoresis, Optimized electrophoretic conditions (20 mM disodium tetraborate with 1 …
