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 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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

Targeted therapies are cancer medications that work more selectively than standard chemotherapy medications. They do this by targeting specific molecules or genetic changes in cancer cells in order to ...

Fabricated with a gel side for carrying drugs and a magnetic side for steering, these microrobots can navigate complex biological environments like intestines. Microrobots formed in droplets could ...

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 ...
