Patient-centric drug development is a concept that has proven to be divisive: Some see it as nothing but a buzzword, while others have embraced the concept completely. Either way, it has garnered much ...

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.

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 ...

DNA hydrogels are biocompatible drug delivery systems for targeted therapeutic interventions. Conventional DNA hydrogels, formed with many DNA nanostructure units, lead to increased preparation costs ...

Nanocapsules are nanoscale containers that can encapsulate and protect various substances, such as drugs, enzymes, or other active ingredients. These tiny capsules typically range in size from 10 to ...

A synthetic cell that can be activated by a magnetic field to release a medicine whilst deep in the body has been created by chemists at UCL (University College London) and the University of Oxford.

Artificial intelligence is shifting formulation development from empirical trial-and-error to predictive, data-driven design ...
