Stability and cytotoxicity of biopolymer-coated liposomes for use in the oral cavity
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study investigates the stability and cytotoxicity of biopolymer-coated liposomes for use in the oral cavity. Liposomes (3 mM and 6 mM) were prepared by the thin film method and hydrated with phosphate buffer (PB) or glycerol phosphate buffer (G-PB). For coating, liposomes were added to a biopolymer solution of opposite charge. Particle stability was evaluated by measuring the size, polydispersity index, and zeta potential for up to 60 weeks. In vitro interaction of fluorescent-labelled biopolymer-coated liposomes and dysplastic oral keratinocytes was analyzed by confocal microscopy. Potential cytotoxicity was assessed in dysplastic oral keratinocytes by cell proliferation and cell viability. All three biopolymers showed good coating abilities for both concentrations and hydration media. The alginate coated liposomes in PB, 3 mM chitosan-coated liposomes in PB, and chitosan-coated liposomes in G-PB were stable for up to 60 weeks. In vitro studies demonstrated low cytotoxicity for all coated liposomes and non-specific cellular uptake of biopolymer-coated liposomes, independent of biopolymer, surface charge, lipid concentration and hydration media. All three formulations demonstrated low cytotoxicity and were considered safe. Alginate- and chitosan-coated liposomes demonstrated good stability over time and may be promising agents for use in the oral cavity and should be investigated further.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
