Targeted drug delivery is a powerful and promising area of medicine. Therapies that pinpoint the exact areas of the body where they're needed—and nowhere they're not—can reduce the medicine dosage and ...

The human brain comprises billions of neurons, synapses, and cell types, making it one of the universe's most intricate and dynamic structures. However, the complexity and sensitivity of the brain can ...

Researchers have demonstrated that microscopic drug delivery containers can be magnetically steered to their targets, advancing the development of precision medicine for treating diseases such as ...

Nanogels are increasingly used in drug delivery systems for their ability to encapsulate a wide range of therapeutic agents and release them in a controlled, targeted manner. Recent developments have ...

In a study published in the Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, scientists from the UF Health Cancer Institute have found a way to make treatment for a notoriously aggressive breast cancer more ...

Targeted drug delivery has long been a cornerstone goal of modern medicine—sending therapies exactly where they’re needed while sparing healthy tissues. Yet creating treatments that can decide when ...

Modern cancer therapies have resulted in higher survival rates for victims of this dread disease, in many cases. However, their generic mode of delivery and action is associated with greater adverse ...

Researchers created proteins that fold into logic-based shapes, letting therapies target disease sites precisely and cut off-target effects. (Nanowerk News) Targeted drug delivery is a powerful and ...

Therapies that are sensitive to multiple biomarkers could allow medicines to reach only the areas of the body where they are needed. The diagram above shows three theoretical biomarkers that are ...
