Controlled release drug delivery offers significant market opportunities by optimizing therapeutic effects and patient ...

Encapsulating drugs within biocompatible polymers allows for controlled release and extended circulation time, optimizing treatment efficacy. These systems also offer tailored formulations, ...

Gene delivery is, arguably, the biggest bottleneck in gene therapy. Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are the historical mainstay, but they are expensive to manufacture and have payload limits and ...

Scientists at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU) and at Nanjing University have combined a widely used medical polymer with a natural blood protein to develop a new nanoparticle drug delivery ...

Biodegradable polymers are a type of polymer that exists both naturally and can be synthesized in laboratories. This special class of polymer is broken down naturally by microbial processes to produce ...

Controlled drug delivery to the body can be achieved using dressings made of electrospun mats, composed of polymer fibers combined with a suitable therapeutic agent. The inset shows a microscopic ...

LMU researchers have investigated how cationic polymers organize on a molecular level when transporting RNA drugs. Cationic polymers are promising tools for transporting RNA therapeutics or RNA ...

Figure 1. A typical polysiloxane structure, where R = CH3, phenyl (aromatic carbon ring), F3CCH2CH2, and CHCH2.(click image to enlarge) Drug-delivery systems are some of the most rapidly proliferating ...

DDS can be based on physical mechanisms like osmosis, diffusion, erosion, dissolution, and electro-transport or biochemical methods like monoclonal antibodies, gene therapy, vector systems, ...
