Model Approaches for Pharmacokinetic Data: Distributed Parameter Models

244
Pharmacokinetic models are mathematical constructs that represent and predict the time course of drug concentrations in the body, providing meaningful pharmacokinetic parameters. These models are categorized into compartment, physiological, and distributed parameter models.
The distributed parameter models are specifically designed to account for variations and differences in some drug classes. This model is particularly useful for assessing regional concentrations of anticancer or...

Matter: Pure Substances and Mixtures
According to its composition, the matter can be classified into two broad categories — pure substances and mixtures. 
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition throughout with uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated. 
A mixture is composed of two or...

Parameters Affecting Nonlinear Elimination: Zero-Order Input, First-Order Absorption and Two-Compartment Model

297
Drugs administered through various routes can lead to nonlinear elimination, resulting in complex pharmacokinetic behaviors crucial to understanding efficacious drug dosing.
When a drug is administered through a constant intravenous infusion and eliminated via nonlinear pharmacokinetics, it follows zero-order input. For example, oral drugs undergo first-order absorption upon administration and are eliminated through nonlinear pharmacokinetics.
In the case of subcutaneously administered drugs,...

Wave Parameters

9.1K
The simplest mechanical waves are associated with simple harmonic motion and repeat themselves for several cycles. These simple harmonic waves can be modeled using a combination of sine and cosine functions. Consider a simplified surface water wave that moves across the water's surface. Unlike complex ocean waves, in surface water waves, water moves vertically, oscillating up and down, whereas the disturbance of the wave moves horizontally through the medium. If a seagull is floating on the...

Neural Regulation

Digestion begins with a cephalic phase that prepares the digestive system to receive food. When our brain processes visual or olfactory information about food, it triggers impulses in the cranial nerves innervating the salivary glands and stomach to prepare for food.

Composition of Blood01:22

Composition of Blood

11.3K
The blood in our bodies comprises three major components: blood plasma, formed elements, and the extracellular matrix. Blood plasma is a yellowish fluid that constitutes 55% of the total blood volume. It is primarily made up of water and essential substances such as electrolytes and proteins. Blood plasma serves as a medium for transporting blood cells and also contains nutrients, enzymes, hormones, antibodies, and gases.
Formed elements constitute the remaining 45% of the blood volume. These...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Neuroscience
  • Stem Cell Biology

Background:

  • Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) involve progressive neuron loss, hindering effective study due to a lack of realistic experimental models.
  • Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) offer potential for modeling but require advanced techniques for neural differentiation and tissue formation.
  • Current in vitro models often lack the complexity to fully replicate the in vivo environment of the central nervous system.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a realistic in vitro neural tissue model for studying neurodegenerative diseases.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of 3D bioprinting in creating functional neural constructs.
  • To assess the viability and potential of combining iPSCs with 3D bioprinting for disease modeling.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of sodium alginate and gelatin as biomaterials for bioink formulation.
  • Encapsulation and 3D bioprinting of three cell types: neuroblastoma cell line (SH-SY5Y), iPSCs, and neural stem cells.
  • Cultivation of printed constructs for at least seven days to assess cell viability and shape maintenance.

Main Results:

  • All encapsulated cell types (SH-SY5Y, iPSCs, neural stem cells) demonstrated good viability after 3D bioprinting and seven days of cultivation.
  • The printed constructs maintained their shape, indicating structural integrity of the 3D bioprinted neural tissue.
  • Successful integration of different cell types within biomaterial scaffolds was achieved.

Conclusions:

  • 3D bioprinting combined with iPSCs technology presents a promising approach for creating reliable in vitro neural tissue models.
  • This novel methodology can significantly advance the study of complex degenerative processes in neurodegenerative diseases.
  • Further optimization holds the potential to enhance the study of pathogenic mechanisms underlying currently poorly understood neurodegenerative conditions.
