What is Targeted Drug Delivery? Targeted drug delivery is a cutting-edge approach in nanomedicine that aims to selectively transport therapeutic agents to specific tissues, cells, or even ...

Hydrogels are among the most widely studied biomaterials in modern drug delivery research. Their high hydrophilicity, ...

Modern cancer therapies have resulted in higher survival rates for victims of this dread disease, in many cases. However, their generic mode of delivery and action is associated with greater adverse ...

A magnetically guided microrobotics system is capable of navigating the body’s intricate passageways and vasculature to deliver drugs with pinpoint accuracy, according to a new study. The novel system ...

Scientists headed by a team at the University of British Columbia (UBC) have developed a new approach to drug design that can deliver therapeutics directly to a specific part of the gastrointestinal ...

A recently identified bacterial protein, named BeeR, is contributing to the design of novel anticancer drug delivery systems. Researchers from King’s College London (UK) and the University of ...

The modification of the liposomal surface by incorporating negatively charged lipids (e.g., by dicetylphosphate [DCP] incorporation), seems to increase the AM affinity to capture anionic liposomes via ...

Therapies that are sensitive to multiple biomarkers could allow medicines to reach only the areas of the body where they are needed. The diagram above shows three theoretical biomarkers that are ...

Cancer remains a significant global health challenge, necessitating innovative treatment strategies to improve therapeutic outcomes and reduce side effects. Traditional cancer treatments often use ...

Researchers created proteins that fold into logic-based shapes, letting therapies target disease sites precisely and cut off-target effects. (Nanowerk News) Targeted drug delivery is a powerful and ...
