drug delivery

Eye injections are the only way to treat diabetic retinopathy, but many refuse to get them. Now, eye drops and pills are on their way.

Bioengineers used a modular, step-by-step chemical technique to create algae that carry antibiotic payloads.

Transporting osteoarthritis drugs to the joints is challenging. Innovations in nanoparticle delivery, therapeutic gels, and “smart cells” may be the answer.

A new oral delivery system may replace injections for people with diabetes.

Researchers simultaneously increased the potency of a cancer drug while reducing both the required dose and the side effects, all by using a surprising new drug delivery vehicle: bacteria.

Join a panel of experts as they discuss nanoparticle technology and key considerations for nanoparticle-based drug delivery.  

Silicon nanoneedles loaded with ocular drugs hold potential to replace invasive injections to the eye.

Nanosyringes produced by some bacterial species naturally inject proteins into eukaryotic cells, paving a new frontier for biologic drug delivery.

Nanoparticles fuse with cells to deliver their gene or RNA therapy cargo, but some are better shuttles than others. Now, scientists have developed a way to find the best nanoparticles for the job.

Nanoparticles that successfully deliver drugs in mice often fail in humans. To understand how nanoparticles fare across different model species, scientists developed a high-throughput system to screen nanoparticles in mice with humanized livers with the hope of better predicting nanoparticles that work in humans.
