Casein microspheres

Prior to the study by Chen et al. (140), only one publication discussed the use of the protein casein as a drug carrier (141). Chen et al. systematically compared the many features of albumin and casein microspheres—morphology, drug (adriamycin) incorporation, and release—in an effort to identify important factors in the antitumor effect of this delivery system. 

Biological samples such as bacteria and viruses have been studied by SdFFF as well as FIFFF. These two techniques provided bacterial number, density, size, and mass distributions of bacterial cells of diverse shapes and sizes, molecular weights, sizes, densities, and diffusivities of viruses. SdFFF has been used to analyze protein particles, including casein derived from nonfat dry milk, albumin microspheres, and particles in cataractous lenses originating from the aggregation of lens proteins.

Let us mention, finally, that there is also a growing number of works di-reeled to the use of natural polymers. such as albumin, gelatin, or casein (104), For instance, albumin microspheres can be prepared by denaturalization (by heat treatment, or by formaldehyde addition) of natural albumin. In addition to being useful in the exploration, for diagnostic purposes, of the reticuloendothelial sys-...
