3D-Printed Microcubes for Catalase Drug Delivery.

ABSTRACT: Oxidative stress, i.e., excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), plays an important role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. Catalase, an antioxidant enzyme, has great therapeutic potential; however, its efficacy is limited by its delivery to target cells or tissues. In order to achieve efficient delivery, consistent drug distribution, and drug activity, small and uniformly sized drug delivery vehicles are needed. Here, three-dimensional (3D) microcubes were printed by Nanoscribe Photonic Professional GT2, a high-resolution 3D printer, and the characteristics of 3D-printed microcubes as drug delivery vehicles for the delivery of catalase were investigated. The size of the 3D-printed microcubes w
