Description
Zia and co-authors build a new kind of antibubble that can carry both water-loving and fat-loving drugs at once. Antibubbles are droplets with a water-air-water structure, a fresh form of capsule. Their older versions lost the oily layer during making, so fatty cargo had no home. The new design starts from a triple emulsion with an oil layer kept inside. The inner water phase holds a nanoemulsion steadied by food proteins. Whey, soy, and pea proteins were each tried.
Dyes stood in as model drugs to test loading. The structure promises one carrier for mixed drug pairs. Such pairs are common in therapy but hard to package together.
