Several theories were also developed mainly involving the cerebral cortex and hippocampus, but unfortunately, there is currently no medication that protects or regenerates neurons. Symptoms may include impairment in memory, speech, personality, verbal fluency, and progressive mental failure.

The active fragment of osteoglycin (OGN) has previously shown significant regenerative potential in activating growth of alveolar epithelial cells, making it a promising candidate for therapeutic development. In this study, we developed an inhalable dry powder formulation of the OGN fragment using spray drying, incorporating inulin or mannitol as excipients and leucine as a dispersion enhancer. The formulations were assessed for their ability to support lung organoid formation and differentiation <em>in vitro</em>. After spray drying with inulin or mannitol, the OGN fragment maintained its ability to induce organoid formation, but only the formulation containing inulin supported the differentiation towards alveolar-type organoids (surfactant protein C positive). After 28 days of storage at high temperatures (60 °C) inulin was found to provide superior stability compared to mannitol. The dry powder formulation with OGN fragment and inulin demonstrated favorable aerodynamic properties, meeting the requirements for deep lung deposition when dispersed via a dry powder inhaler. Additionally, we showed that adding 4 % leucine or inulin sweeper particles significantly improved the dispersion behavior of the formulation and reduced dry powder inhaler retention. This study highlights the potential of an inhalable OGN fragment formulation as a novel therapeutic approach for lung tissue repair in COPD.

Even when vaccines are made available through purchases or donations, issues such as insufficient trained medical personnel and inadequate infrastructure impede their widespread use. To address these challenges, we propose the Microneedle & Film-Forming Gel Transdermal Delivery Strategy (MFT strategy), which combines the minimally invasive nature of microneedles with the stability of film-forming gels that can be stored at room temperature. This strategy aimed to simplify vaccine production, reduce logistical burdens, and improve the efficiency of transdermal vaccine delivery while generating strong immune responses. In this study, we used ovalbumin as a model antigen and developed microneedles from methacrylic acid-modified hyaluronic acid, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and polyvinyl alcohol, in conjunction with a polyvinyl alcohol-borax (PVA-B) film-forming gel. In vitro experiments demonstrated that the MFT strategy has achieved an efficiency improvement of 202.75 % compared to previously reported strategies. Besides, PVA-B film forming gel displayed strong antimicrobial properties and effectively stabilized proteins over 30 days at 25 °C, preserving the antigenic structure essential for vaccine efficacy. In vivo tests revealed that the MFT strategy induced humoral immune responses comparable to those achieved by intramuscular injection, with histological analysis confirming good skin tolerance and safety.

However, the therapeutic efficacy of CBD is limited by extensive hepatic metabolism and low oral bioavailability (approximately 20 %). These problems can be overcome by choosing an appropriate targeted drug delivery system. Delivering CBD to the lungs via a dry powder formulation could be an effective method to achieve adequate concentration and therapeutic efficacy. This study aims to develop a dry powder formulation of CBD with Inulin (INU) and L-leucine (LEC) using spray drying and to characterize its physicochemical and aerodynamic properties. A design of experiments (DOE) approach was used to optimize the formulation by varying feed concentration (0.2 % w/v to 0.8 % w/v), LEC concentration (5 % w/w to 20 % w/w), and CBD concentration (5 % w/w to 20 % w/w). The resulting CBD dry powder formulations exhibited a wrinkled morphology with particle sizes ranging from 1 to 5 µm and displayed a crystalline structure, as determined by powder X-ray diffraction. The response surface method (RSM) showed that increasing the feed concentration correlated with higher yields of the CBD formulations. Specifically, the formulation with a feed concentration of 0.8 % w/v achieved a yield of 61 %. The aerosolization data demonstrated a direct relationship between the Fine Particle Fraction (FPF) and LEC concentration, indicating that FPF increases as the LEC concentration increases. The highest FPF of 62 % was achieved with a 20 % w/w LEC concentration and a feed concentration of 0.2 % w/v. Based on this, LEC plays a crucial role in enhancing aerosolization efficiency. While feed concentration negatively affects FPF, lower feed concentrations lead to an increase in FPF. The Fine Particle Dose (FPD) varied with the concentration of CBD, with higher concentrations resulting in a higher FPD. A 28 days stability study under different humidity conditions (<15 % and 53 %) confirmed the stability of the CBD formulations. INU and LEC exhibited minimal cytotoxicity on A549 cells, while the raw CBD and CBD formulations showed comparable levels of cytotoxicity, pIC<sub>50</sub> 4.5 ± 0.3 and 4.2 ± 0.2. Interestingly, the CBD dry powder formulations significantly reduced inflammation (pEC<sub>50</sub> = 4.9) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
