Nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems utilise the unique physicochemical properties of nanoscale carriers to enhance therapeutic efficacy whilst minimising systemic side effects. These formulations ...

Scientists engaged in precision medicine research focus intensely on target-based drug development. In doing so, they help improve the safety and efficacy profiles of future therapies by reducing ...

Nanomedicine is rapidly transforming the landscape of cancer treatment through the development of advanced drug-delivery carriers. Despite notable progress ...

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, ...

Scientists working to enhance brain-computer interface (BCI) technology—which allows people to control devices with their thoughts—have found they can improve the performance of electrodes implanted ...

Drug delivery researchers have vastly improved the potential of genetic therapies by overcoming the challenge of consistently getting genes and gene-editing tools where they need to be within cells.

A research team led by Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) has developed a novel drug delivery system for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The researchers have engineered exosomes, extracellular vesicles ...

Ovarian cancer is one of the most common malignancies in women worldwide. Unlike breast cancer, ovarian cancer lacks early diagnostic markers and does not show noticeable symptoms until cancer ...

The blood–brain barrier functions as an evolutionarily optimized vascular “filter,” permitting limited penetration of small molecules like temozolomide while effectively excluding most biologics from ...

Nano-drug delivery techniques have expanded the possibilities for delivering a broad spectrum of biomolecular and synthetic therapeutic agents into a body target region. The characterization of ...

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 ...
