Recent Advances in the Development of Antimicrobial and Antifouling Biocompatible Materials for Dental Applications
(MDPI, 2021)
The risk of secondary bacterial infections resulting from dental procedures has driven
the design of antimicrobial and antifouling dental materials to curb pathogenic microbial growth,
biofilm formation and subsequent ...
The effectiveness of using text and pictograms on oral rehydration, dry-mixture sachet labels
(AOSIS, 2021)
Medication labels are often the only information available to patients after obtaining medication from a healthcare practitioner. Pictograms are graphic symbols that have shown to increase understanding of medicine use ...
Alternative mechanisms for delivery of medication in South Africa: A scoping review
(AOSIS, 2021)
Background: The number of people in South Africa with chronic conditions is a challenge to

Polymer-based protein delivery systems for loco-regional administration
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2021)
With the advent of recombinant technology, a wide variety of biocompatible therapeutic proteins can be produced with relative ease. These proteins are formulated and subsequently administered in patients to treat various ...
Cheminformatic profiling and hit prioritization of natural products with activities against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA)
(MPDI, 2021)
Several natural products (NPs) have displayed varying in vitro activities against methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). However, few of these compounds have not been developed
into potential antimicrobial ...
Design, synthesis, and evaluation of 3,7-substituted coumarin derivatives as multifunctional Alzheimer’s disease agents
(Taylor & Francis Open Access, 2021)
Multitarget directed ligands (MTDLs) are emerging as promising treatment options for Alzheimer’s disease
(AD). Coumarin derivatives serve as a good starting point for designing MTDLs due to their inherent inhibition of ...
