Although, the drug delivery system(DDS) concept is not new, great progress has recently been made in the treatment of a variety of diseases. Targeting delivery of drugs to the diseased lesions is one of the most important aspects of DDS. To convey a sufficient dose of drug to the lesion, suitable carriers of drugs are needed. Nano and microparticle carriers have important potential applications for the administration of therapeutic molecules. 1, record 1, English, - drug%20delivery%20system

système de délivrance de médicaments; système de délivrance : Ces termes sont d'usage fréquent pour désigner la notion. Néanmoins, le terme «délivrance» n'a jamais eu en français le sens d'administration et il n'a plus celui de libération. De plus, il peut porter à confusion parce que la «délivrance d'un médicament» (drug dispensing) est ce que fait un pharmacien lorsqu'il remet un médicament à un patient. 7, record 1, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20de%20lib%C3%A9ration%20de%20m%C3%A9dicaments

Selon certains auteurs, «delivery system» n'a pas d'équivalent en français. Ce terme se traduit soit par «dispositif d'administration», soit par «mode d'administration» selon le contexte. D'autres auteurs estiment que «système de libération» recouvre tous les traits sémantiques de «delivery system», et qu'il est donc un équivalent acceptable. 7, record 1, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20de%20lib%C3%A9ration%20de%20m%C3%A9dicaments

The 603 corn line was created through direct DNA transformation by microparticle bombardment of plant cells with DNA-coated gold particles and regeneration of plants by tissue culture on selective medium. The plasmid vector used in the transformation, a gel-isolated linear restriction fragment designated PV-ZMGT32L, contains two adjacent plant gene expression cassettes, each containing a single copy of the CP4 EPSPS encoding gene. 2, record 2, English, - plasmid%20vector
