Doratt Mendoza J, Ding J, Acosta Alvarez M, Acosta E
Molecules . 2025 Feb; 30(4). PMID: 40005230
Using microemulsions (µEs) as preservation media for cells was pursued in the 1990s; however, the difficulty in formulating biocompatible µEs and keeping unacclimatized cells alive for more than three days...

Leng Z, Acosta E
Langmuir . 2023 Dec; 39(50):18215-18228. PMID: 38051937
The characteristic curvature (Cc), within the hydrophilic-lipophilic difference + net () - average () curvature (HLD-NAC) framework, is the dimensionless net curvature, -· ( is the surfactant's tail length parameter),...

Nouraei M, Collymore C, Diosady L, Acosta E
Int J Pharm . 2021 Oct; 610:121237. PMID: 34718090
Lecithin-linker microemulsions have been previously proposed as a platform for designing a fully dilutable self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS). This SMEDDS formulation, composed of ethyl caprate (oil), lecithin (Le), glycerol...

Langmuir . 2019 Oct; 35(47):15038-15050. PMID: 31633933
In this work, a bifunctional model was developed to fit and predict the phase inversion point (PIP) of microemulsions containing polar oils. This model incorporated the hydrophilic-lipophilic difference (HLD) equations,...

Goel S, Joshi N, Uddin M, Ng S, Acosta E, Ramachandran A
Langmuir . 2019 Oct; 35(48):15710-15722. PMID: 31631660
The interfacial tension (IFT) is a critical parameter to inform our understanding of the phenomena of drop breakup and droplet-droplet coalescence in sheared water-in-diluted bitumen (dilbit) emulsions. A microfluidic extensional...

Nathal E, Patino-Rodriguez H, Arauz A, Imam S, Acosta E, Evins A, et al.
World Neurosurg . 2017 Dec; 111:e478-e484. PMID: 29288109
Objective: Brainstem cavernous malformations (BSCMs) account for up to 18% of all intracranial cavernous malformations. Due to their complex anatomic location, they represent a significant challenge for neurosurgeons. As such,...

Munoz S, Zhadan R, Acosta E
Int J Pharm . 2017 May; 526(1-2):455-465. PMID: 28456650
The incorporation of micelle self-assembly in hydrogels has been used to produce self-healing materials, materials with tunable mechanical properties, and hydrophilic or hydrophobic drug delivery systems. However, little is known...

Boza Troncoso A, Acosta E
J Colloid Interface Sci . 2016 Jan; 466:400-12. PMID: 26759991
The Integrated Free Energy Model (IFEM) is a platform used to predict the solubilization of nonpolar oils in nonionic alkyl-polyethylene oxide (C(X)EO(Y)) micelles starting from a free energy balance of...

Zarate-Munoz S, Boza Troncoso A, Acosta E
Langmuir . 2015 Oct; 31(44):12000-8. PMID: 26467232
The hydrophobicity of surfactants has been described through different concepts used to guide the formulation of surfactant-water (SW) and surfactant-oil-water (SOW) systems. An integrated framework of hydrophobicity indicators could provide...
