Publication number: 20240115508Abstract: Nanocrystals, compositions, and methods that aid particle transport in mucus are provided. In some embodiments, the compositions and methods involve making mucus-penetrating particles (MPP) without any polymeric carriers, or with minimal use of polymeric carriers. The compositions and methods may include, in some embodiments, modifying the surface coatings of particles formed of pharmaceutical agents that have a low water solubility. Such methods and compositions can be used to achieve efficient transport of particles of pharmaceutical agents though mucus barriers in the body for a wide spectrum of applications, including drug delivery, imaging, and diagnostic applications. In certain embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition including such particles is well-suited for administration routes involving the particles passing through a mucosal barrier.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Alexey Popov, Elizabeth M. Enlow, James Bourassa, Colin R. Gardner, Hongming Chen, Laura M. Ensign, Samuel K. Lai, Tao Yu, Justin Hanes, Ming Yang

Publication number: 20240116047Abstract: Liquid reservoirs, cartridge assemblies and related systems and methods are disclosed. An example implementation includes an apparatus that includes a body, a cover, and a lid assembly. The body includes a top surface and a storage chamber having an opening at the top surface. The cover covers or is positioned within the opening of the storage chamber. The lid assembly is coupled to the top surface and covers the opening of the storage chamber. The top surface and the first portion define a plenum. The cover is at least one of piercable, breakable, or movable to allow the storage chamber to be fluidly coupled to the plenum without venting the plenum to atmosphere.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Panteleimon Athanasiou, Beng Keong Ang, Justin Davidson, Norman Khoo, Heng Kuang Cheng, Hao Yu, Zhenning Cao
