Therapeutic Delivery – News and Features

Researchers have developed a technique using microbubbles and ultrasound to temporarily open the blood-brain barrier, enhancing drug delivery for brain diseases. This approach could provide new therapeutic options for conditions like brain cancer.

By tapping into the sticky power of mussels, researchers have engineered "sticky" microorganisms to break down plastics and help transform environmental cleanup.

This article explores the revolution in new drug modalities and the challenges around effective data strategies to support AI efforts.

Three patients are in “safe, deep remission” after receiving a CRISPR-Cas9-modified cell therapy for autoimmune disease treatment, according to a new published study in Cell.

An array of nanopillars that can breach the nucleus of cells without damaging the membrane could open new possibilities in gene therapy.

Researchers aim to improve commercial glucagon stability and prevent hypoglycemia by using micelles: nanoscale, soap-like bubbles that can be customized to assemble or disassemble in different environments and are used for drug delivery.

A study shows that microparticles delivering CCL2 can inhibit bone loss and enhance repair in mice with periodontal disease. This approach shifts focus from bacteria to immune modulation.

Researchers have developed a convoy of miniature robots capable of performing endoscopic surgeries. By combining multiple TrainBots with enhanced anti-slip feet, they successfully maneuvered an electrode through a bile duct obstruction.

Engineers have developed an innovative way to make covalent organic frameworks (COFs), that have the potential to address significant environmental challenges, including energy storage and pollution control.

A study at UT Dallas reveals that X-ray imaging using gold nanoparticles offers superior accuracy in detecting kidney disease compared to traditional blood tests like BUN and creatinine.
