Leading national thinking on politics, government & public policy through Open Access research

Strathprints makes available scholarly Open Access content by researchers in the School of Government & Public Policy, based within the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences.

Research here is 1st in Scotland for research intensity and spans a wide range of domains. The Department of Politics demonstrates expertise in understanding parties, elections and public opinion, with additional emphases on political economy, institutions and international relations. This international angle is reflected in the European Policies Research Centre (EPRC) which conducts comparative research on public policy. Meanwhile, the Centre for Energy Policy provides independent expertise on energy, working across multidisciplinary groups to shape policy for a low carbon economy.

    Abstract

    In this paper we describe a combined in-vitro experimental and mathematical modelling approach to predict in-vivo drug-eluting stent kinetics. We coated stents with a mixture of sirolimus and a novel acrylic-based polymer in two different ratios. Our results indicate differential release kinetics between low and high drug dose formulations. Furthermore, mathematical model simulations of target receptor saturation suggest potential differences in efficacy.
