A study has shown pollen grains can be used as green templates for producing biomaterials, showcasing their potential to support drug delivery and bone regeneration. With an increasingly ageing population, bone fractures are becoming more common. Bone is generally able to self-repair but if the fracture is too big or the person affected too fragile, […]

A new study from the University of Eastern Finland shows that the delivery of drugs into the brain, and especially into glial cells, can be enhanced with prodrugs that temporarily incorporate thyroxine or a thyroxine-like molecule. The transporter protein OATP1C1, which is found in the brain, can be utilised in the delivery of such prodrugs. […]

Queen’s University Belfast are leading a £1.2m project to improve drug delivery for a range of illnesses. The grant, awarded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), part of the UK Research and Innovation, will accelerate the development of microarray patches to make them available to patients worldwide. Microarray patches offer practical solutions […]
