Encapsulation is a process of enclosing the substances within an inert material which protects from environment as well as control drug release. Recently, two type of encapsulation has been performed in several research. Nanoencapsulation is the coating of various substances within another material at sizes on the nano scale. Microencapsulation is similar to nanoencapsulation aside from it involving larger particles and having been done for a greater period of time than nanoencapsulation. Encapsulation is a new technology that has wide applications in pharmaceutical industries, agrochemical, food industries and cosmetics. In this review, the difference between micro and nano encapsulation has been explained. This article gives an overview of different methods and reason for encapsulation. The advantages and disadvantages of micro and nano encapsulation technology were also clearly mentioned in this paper.

The effect of temperature on nano-CeO2 particle coarsening is investigated. The nanoceria powders were synthesized using the microemulsion method and then exposed to temperatures in the range of 373–1273 K. It was found that the nanoparticles exhibited a strong tendency to form agglomerates and through the application of ultrasound these agglomerates could be broken into smaller sizes. In addition average nanoparticle sizes were determined by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). The outcome of this work indicates that the initial nano-CeO2 powders are amorphous in nature. Annealing promotes CeO2 crystallization and a slight shift in the (111) XRD intensity peaks corresponding to CeO2. Moreover, at temperatures below 773 K, grain growth in nano-CeO2 particles is rather slow. Apparently, mass transport through diffusional processes is not likely to occur as indicated by an estimated activation energy of 20 kJ/mol. At temperatures above 873 K, the measured activation energy shifted to 105 kJ/mol suggesting a possible transition to Ostwald-Ripening type mass transport mechanisms.

AbstractThe human ATP-binding cassette transporter ABCG2 is a key to anticancer resistance and physiological detoxification. However, the molecular mechanism of substrate transport remains enigmatic. A hydrophobic di-leucine motif in the ABCG2 core separates a large intracellular cavity from a smaller upper cavity. We show that the di-leucine motif acts as a valve that controls drug extrusion. Moreover, the extracellular structure engages the re-entry helix and all extracellular loops to form a roof architecture on top of the upper cavity. Disulfide bridges and a salt bridge limit roof flexibility, but provide a lid-like function to control drug release. We propose that drug translocation from the central to the upper cavities through the valve is driven by a squeezing motion, suggesting that ABCG2 operates similar to a peristaltic pump. Finally, the roof contains essential residues, offering therapeutic options to block ABCG2 by either targeting the valve or essential residues in the roof.
