BFFTF - Biofrontera: The Battle For Ownership
Nanoemulsion
Starting out as a scientist in the investing world, I was always fascinated by the behind hidden technology. Especially for biotech, understanding the scientific platform is something crucial to succeed.
Nanotechnology is, in general, the process of creating small size crystal/objects in nanometer size. This is especially interesting since nanoemulsion formulation can deliver the drugs more efficiently. In the case of Ameluz, the active ingredient 5-aminolevulinic acid binds to the hydrophilic part of lecithin. This molecule class has a tensile structure and therefore usually forms micelles. It has been shown that especial micelles in
