Nichols, Andrew J. Shepherd, Vijay S. Gorantla, Jelena M. Janjic

“…In a rodent model of Complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA)-induced inflammation, we demonstrated that infiltrating macrophages sequestered curcumin-loaded nanoemulsion droplets and acted as cellular drug depots at the site of inflammation. This consequently decreased macrophage infiltration at the CFA-induced inflammation site in both sexes compared to drug-free nanoemulsion, as demonstrated by NIRF imaging, H&E staining, and immunofluorescence. …”
