Covid-19 vaccine success bolsters nanoparticle drug delivery research

Pharmaceutical Technology

In 1974, Dr. Robert Langer was part of the first cohort of researchers to begin nanoparticle research , as his lab at Cornell University developed tiny particles to deliver large molecules for angiogenesis. The next wave came from early research into liposomes and lipid nanoparticles, both of which are used for drug delivery.

Nonclinical Pulmonary Drug Delivery: Setting Up Your Inhalation Drug Study for Success

Camargo

Interest in the pulmonary route has also grown in recent years because delivering the drugs through the lungs allows direct systemic delivery and bypasses the first pass metabolism. Why is pulmonary drug delivery a complex challenge? How can we accomplish drug delivery to the lungs in nonclinical studies?

Partners will develop targeted miRNAs to treat pancreatic cancer

Drug Discovery World

miRNAs are involved in the regulation of various physiological and pathological processes. In tumours, aberrant down regulation of given miRNAs may result in pathological overexpression of oncogenes, rendering miRNA replacement a promising therapeutic strategy. A major bottleneck in miRNA replacement is their efficient delivery.
