Controlled release systems deliver medication and other bioactive compounds to the ideal spot inside a body and over a specific time. New research from the University of Arkansas and the University of ...

The controlled release drug delivery market is poised for growth driven by increased R&D, technological advances, and demand for convenient, effective chronic disease treatments. Key opportunities ...

They serve as sustained-release drug delivery systems as they can encapsulate various bioactive substances, including drugs, antigens, and even cells. Hydrogels are better drug delivery alternatives ...

A team of scientists has developed grain-sized soft robots that can be controlled using magnetic fields for targeted drug delivery, paving the way to possible improved therapies in future. A team of ...

Conventional drug delivery is fraught with limitations. Targeted delivery is a hot button issue in modern medicine, with developers exploring many avenues for more precise treatments.

Key FDA findings: Polymer-to-drug ratios in dissolvable microneedles altered drug release speeds while maintaining penetration ability. Mechanical strength boost: Higher polymer content increased ...

Upon administration, VLPs are uptake by APC, like dendritic cells. VLPs can be presented by MHC-I or MHC-II, which are recognized by CD8+ and CD4+ T cells, respectively. For cellular response, CD8+ ...

A new nanoparticle platform combines drug delivery with photothermal therapy to overcome multidrug resistance. The approach ...

Cancer cells frequently develop the ability to expel anticancer drugs before they can work—a phenomenon called multidrug resistance (MDR)—which is one of the leading reasons why chemotherapy fails in ...

A two-step nanoparticle system first blocks cancer cells' drug-expulsion mechanism, then releases chemotherapy combined with laser-driven heat to destroy resistant tumors.
