[PMID: 38752115 PMCID: PMC11091039 DOI: 10.1007/s10068-024-01543-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2023] [Revised: 01/31/2024] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) stands as a compelling alternative to conventional plastic-based packaging, signifying a notable shift toward sustainable material utilization. This comprehensive analysis illuminates the manifold applications of PLA composites within the realm of the food industry, emphasizing its pivotal role in food packaging and preservation. Noteworthy attributes of PLA composites with phenolic active compounds (phenolic acid and aldehyde, terpenes, carotenoid, and so on) include robust antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, significantly enhancing its capability to bolster adherence to stringent food safety standards. The incorporation of microbial and synthetic biopolymers, polysaccharides, oligosaccharides, oils, proteins and peptides to PLA in packaging solutions arises from its inherent non-toxicity and outstanding mechanical as well as thermal resilience. Functioning as a proficient film producer, PLA constructs an ideal preservation environment by merging optical and permeability traits. Esteemed as a pioneer in environmentally mindful packaging, PLA diminishes ecological footprints owing to its innate biodegradability. Primarily, the adoption of PLA extends the shelf life of products and encourages an eco-centric approach, marking a significant stride toward the food industry's embrace of sustainable packaging methodologies.

Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an extremely aggressive type of cancer with an overall survival rate of less than 7-8%, emphasizing the need for novel effective therapeutics against PDAC. However only a fraction of therapeutics which seemed promising in the laboratory environment will eventually reach the clinic. One of the main reasons behind this low success rate is the complex tumor microenvironment (TME) of PDAC, a highly fibrotic and dense stroma surrounding tumor cells, which supports tumor progression as well as increases the resistance against the treatment. In particular, the growing understanding of the PDAC TME points out a different challenge in the development of efficient therapeutics - a lack of biologically relevant in vitro and in vivo models that resemble the complexity and heterogeneity of PDAC observed in patients. The purpose and scope of this review is to provide an overview of the recent developments in different in vitro and in vivo models, which aim to recapitulate the complexity of PDAC in a laboratory environment, as well to describe how 3D in vitro models can be integrated into drug development pipelines that are already including sophisticated in vivo models. Hereby a special focus will be given on the complexity of in vivo models and the challenges in vitro models face to reach the same levels of complexity in a controllable manner. First, a brief introduction of novel developments in two dimensional (2D) models and ex vivo models is provided. Next, recent developments in three dimensional (3D) in vitro models are described ranging from spheroids, organoids, scaffold models, bioprinted models to organ-on-chip models including a discussion on advantages and limitations for each model. Furthermore, we will provide a detailed overview on the current PDAC in vivo models including chemically-induced models, syngeneic and xenogeneic models, highlighting hetero- and orthotopic, patient-derived tissues (PDX) models, and genetically engineered mouse models. Finally, we will provide a discussion on overall limitations of both, in vitro and in vivo models, and discuss necessary steps to overcome these limitations to reach an efficient drug development pipeline, as well as discuss possibilities to include novel in silico models in the process.

Abstract
This study focuses on the solvent effects that promote preferred solvated structures of polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) oligomers of molecular weight 278, 668, and 1449 u in ethyl acetate, water, and a mixture of both solvents. Our methodology consists of all-atom, explicit solvent molecular dynamics simulations for inspection of the solvated oligomer structures at ambient conditions. Parameters for the generalized Amber force field are developed in this work for the ethyl acetate liquid and the PLGA oligomers. Energetics, oligomer radius of gyration, end-to-end distance, orientational order parameter, flexibility coefficient, and backbone dihedral angles are reported along with a size scaling property yielding a power law for PLGA oligomers in each of the three solvents considered. It is found that the PLGA oligomer has two characteristic states identified by a set of extended structures and a set of collapsed structures, the former being energetically preferred in ethyl acetate and its mixture with water. The two types of PLGA structures occur in the three solvents and although they flip from one to the other in a sporadic fashion, in ethyl acetate, the extended structures may persist for more than 20 ns. The collapsed structures are significantly more frequent in water, occurring seldom in the mixed ethyl acetate-water solvent. PLGA is a biodegradable polymer approved for use in pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. Insights provided therein are of importance for the polymer aggregation process and its glassy state in condensed phases.

Abstract
A composite system made of poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) was investigated by Raman and FTIR spectroscopy. Two compositions were prepared and characterized in comparison to the pristine polymer: they contained, respectively, 0.25 and 0.75 wt% of the nanofiller. The study was focused on the morphological properties of the system, and, in particular, on the level of dispersion and the homogeneity obtainable with the adopted preparation protocol. Furthermore, the possible molecular interactions taking place between the nanofiller and the polymer matrix were considered. Both the above issues were investigated by confocal Raman spectroscopy, with the aid of first-principle calculations to strengthen the spectral interpretation. Finally, the effect of the nanofiller on water diffusion was investigated by time-resolved FTIR spectroscopy, which provided accurate equilibrium and kinetic data, as well as molecular level information on the penetrant-to-substrate interactions. It was found that, for a 0.25 wt% composition, the adopted preparation protocol allowed us to achieve a dispersion at the level of single nanoplatelets, while for a 0.75 wt% composition, the GNP's aggregate into a co-continuous phase. PLLA/GNP interactions were detected by Raman spectroscopy, producing a detectable perturbation of the PLLA conformational equilibrium. Both the diffusivities and the equilibrium water uptake were found to decrease significantly by increasing the filler content.
