Advancements in Robotic and AI-based Drug Discovery and Delivery for Neurological Disorders
Neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, and brain tumors, pose significant challenges in drug delivery due to the blood-brain barrier's intricate structure and the complexity of neuronal networks. Traditional drug delivery methods often fall short in reaching therapeutic concentrations within the central nervous system, limiting treatment efficacy and ...read more
Electrospun Fibers as Drug Delivery Systems
In recent years, electrospun fibers have attracted considerable attention as potential platforms for drug delivery due to their distinctive properties and adaptability. These fibers feature a notable surface area-to-volume ratio and can be intentionally designed with high porosity, facilitating an increased capacity for drug loading and rendering them suitable for ...read more
Nanoemulsions in cancer therapy
Solid tumors are characterized by leaky vascular structure, defective angiogenesis and high interstitial fluid load, providing opportunities for nanoparticles to preferentially exudate and be retained in tumors. This phenomenon is commonly referred to as the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect, which is considered to be an important reason why ...read more
Pioneering Drug Delivery Strategies for Enhanced Cancer Immunotherapies
The landscape of cancer treatment has been fundamentally transformed by the advent of immunotherapy, a modality that harnesses the body's immune system to recognize and combat malignant cells. Despite its remarkable successes, the full potential of cancer immunotherapy is yet to be realized, largely due to limitations in targeted delivery, ...read more
