Biomedical engineers have developed a new hydrogel-based delivery system that balances the acidic environment in a tumor and greatly enhances the cancer-fighting activity of the chemotherapeutic drug ...

A team of researchers has created an innovative drug delivery system with outstanding potential to improve drug development. A team of University of Melbourne researchers from the Caruso ...

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 ...

Gastroretentive drug delivery systems (GRDDS) represent a sophisticated approach to oral medication by extending the retention time of dosage forms in the stomach. This increased residence time can ...

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 ...

A study published in the journal Science Translational Medicine describes the development and validation of an octopus sucker-inspired buccal mucosa suction patch as a novel drug delivery system. The ...

When cancer patients undergo chemotherapy, the dose of most drugs is calculated based on the patient’s body surface area. This is estimated by plugging the patient’s height and weight into an equation ...

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 ...

How do you send drugs to specific parts of the body so they do their job and avoid causing side effects elsewhere? According to researchers at Stanford University, the answer is a combination 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 ...
