Considering this promising potential, this thesis has focused on the development of polymeric nanocarriers loaded with an immunomodulatory molecule for the prevention of type 1 diabetes. Furthermore, pursuing the transdermal supplementation of this molecule, these nanocarriers were optimized to enhance its penetration across the skin.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/nanotechnologyimmunomodulationsupplementationautoimmunitytoleranceMaterias::Investigación::32 Ciencias médicas::3209 Farmacología::320908 Preparación de medicamentosMaterias::Investigación::32 Ciencias médicas::3207 Patología::320710 InmunopatologíaMaterias::Investigación::32 Ciencias médicas::3209 Farmacología::320903 Evaluación de medicamentosNanocarriers for enhancing the performance of immunomodulatory moleculesdoctoral thesisopen access
