Abstract
With increasing emphasis on translational research, the need for appropriate regulatory oversight and approval has become essential. The requirements of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Investigational New Drug (IND) exemption in studies that are investigator-initiated have become increasingly stringent. Moreover, academic institutions have not had substantial experience in establishing Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) facilities required for manipulating human cells in vitro and for chemical or biochemical manufacturing. GMP regulations are established by the FDA under the authority of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. In this report, the authors outline the general strategy and some critical steps that an investigator and the institution may find helpful in developing a GMP facility, especially in an academic center. Also, more specifically and as proof of principle, we describe our approach to culturing autologous bone marrow-derived human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and delivering them to non healing wounds. The lessons learned in this often lengthy and challenging process may be helpful to other academic institutions and investigators embarking on manipulating and delivering viable cells for human experimentation.

Advances of natural products, bio-actives and novel drug delivery system against emerging viral infections
Due to the increasing prevalence of viral infections and the ability of these human pathogens to develop resistance to current treatment strategies, there is a great need to find and develop new compounds to combat them. These molecules must have low toxicity, specific activity and high bioavailability. The most suitable ...read more
Electrospun Fibers as Drug Delivery Systems
In recent years, electrospun fibers have attracted considerable attention as potential platforms for drug delivery due to their distinctive properties and adaptability. These fibers feature a notable surface area-to-volume ratio and can be intentionally designed with high porosity, facilitating an increased capacity for drug loading and rendering them suitable for ...read more
Emerging Nanotherapeutics for Mitigation of Neurodegenerative Disorders
Conditions affecting the central nervous system (CNS) present a significant hurdle due to limited access of both treatments and diagnostic tools for the brain. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) acts as a barrier, restricting the passage of molecules from the bloodstream into the brain. The most formidable challenge facing scientists is ...read more
Nanotechnology Based Chemotherapy for the treatment of Head & Neck Cancer
The escalating recurrence rates observed in Head and Neck cancer, particularly within the chemo-therapeutically treated cohort (50-60%), can be attributed to the non-selective nature of current anticancer drug delivery modalities. In this context, nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems emerge as a promising avenue for achieving precise localization of therapeutic agents to ...read more
