Researchers develop targeted polymersomes to enhance methotrexate delivery, offering a promising new approach for treating aggressive choriocarcinoma. Study: ENT-1-Targeted Polymersomes to Enhance the ...

Small interfering RNAs, or siRNAs, hold promise to treat tumors, through their ability to specifically knock down oncogenes that promote tumor growth, without the toxicity that accompanies ...

Scientists at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) have engineered polymer-based nanoparticles that form with a simple temperature shift. The team reports ...

Nanomedicine faces two main challenges: controlling the synthesis of extremely small vectors containing one or several active ingredients and releasing these agents in the right place at the right ...

An approach that directly inserts proteins into polymer-based cell membranes improves drug-screening platforms. Screening for critical drug targets known as G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is now ...

Researchers in the Oregon State University College of Pharmacy have developed a drug delivery system that shows promise for greatly enhancing the efficacy of the medicine given to women with the ...
