Drug delivery

Imagine if medication could travel directly to the source of your illness and unpleasant side effects could be a thing of the past? This is the intriguing promise of nanoparticles!

Physicists utilized large-scale computer modeling to develop a cage-like structure and paired opener towards the goal of efficiently delivering therapies.

Phase III clinical trials find that tirzepatide significantly reduced the severity of obstructive sleep apnea and improved related health metrics in adults with moderate-to-severe OSA and obesity.

A recent study shows that softer proteins transport faster through the nuclear pore complex, highlighting the potential for designing proteins with improved nuclear import rates for advancements in biotechnology and medicine.

Bioengineers from the University of Texas at Dallas have developed a new form of composite material by incorporating yeast into a gel. They demonstrated that the composite can change size depending on the nutrients present around the gel and that…

Researchers have developed a minimally-invasive and precise brain drug delivery system that is controlled by an external magnetic field. Read Anqi Zhang’s article to learn more about neuron modulation by drug delivery!

Researchers from MIT have developed a novel method to locally deliver drugs and prevent immune activity around implanted biomedical devices over several months. The method is based on the formation of crystals of immunosuppressive drugs, which can be…

Treatment of neurological disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease and stroke, has always been a challenging task, partly due to the existence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The BBB is a border that separates the blood circulation from the surrounding…
