2 Review articles finally out!

I was recently invited to write a review article to a precious journal called "Expert Opinion on Drug Delivery" with a given title "Improving drug delivery to the brain: the prodrug approach (link)". So I wrote something, although the topic is tricky, since there is so much yet to do to achieve this aim! 

We also wrote another review article based on Heinileena's Master Thesis, but also Tonnaow and Santosh participated to finalize it and it was also recently published in "Neurochemistry International" under the title "Amino acid transporters in neurological disorders and neuroprotective effects of cysteine derivatives (link)". A great overview for the current understanding of amino acid transporter's role in different brain diseases, and since many of them are seemed to be linked to the endogenous antioxidant glutathione (GSH) and its precursor amino acids, such as cysteine deficiency, the prevailing attempts to improve cysteine levels in the brain were also summarized.

An of course we recently celebrate this among the grants that Adela and Janne received this spring! 

So congratulations and thank you for you hard work!
