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 ...

A magnetically guided microrobotics system is capable of navigating the body’s intricate passageways and vasculature to deliver drugs with pinpoint accuracy, according to a new study. The novel system ...

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 ...

In the home, the lab and the factory, electric fields control technologies such as Kindle displays, medical diagnostic tests and devices that purify cancer drugs. In an electric field, anything with ...

Microrobots formed in droplets could enable precision-targeted drug delivery, improving on I.V. drug delivery that sends only 0.7% of the drug to the target tissue, according to a recent study in ...

A new study details the development of a nanoparticle-based system that delivers concentrated chemotherapy specifically to cancer cells and not normal cells, potentially allowing clinicians to ...

Scientists headed by a team at the University of British Columbia (UBC) have developed a new approach to drug design that can deliver therapeutics directly to a specific part of the gastrointestinal ...

Targeted protein degradation (TPD) therapy is a promising new class of targeted treatments. Based on a cell’s natural mechanism for eliminating diseased proteins, this therapy can combat hard-to-treat ...

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 ...
