Approaches for drug delivery with intracortical probes

Neural probes with multi-drug delivery capability.

Multi-functional neural probes are promising platforms to conduct efficient and effective in-depth studies of brain by recording neural signals as well as modulating the signals with various stimuli. Here we present a neural probe with an embedded microfluidic channel (chemtrode) with multi-drug delivery capability suitable for small animal experiments. We integrated a staggered herringbone mix...

Drug Delivery Approaches with Special Emphasis on Chemical Drug Delivery

Nanotechnology Approaches for Ocular Drug Delivery

Blindness is a major health concern worldwide that has a powerful impact on afflicted individuals and their families, and is associated with enormous socio-economical consequences. The Middle East is heavily impacted by blindness, and the problem there is augmented by an increasing incidence of diabetes in the population. An appropriate drug/gene delivery system that can sustain and deliver the...

Drug delivery approaches for breast cancer

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women worldwide. The controlled release of drugs to the precise site of the disease using a nanocarrier vehicle increases the therapeutic efficiency of the drugs. Nanotechnology-based approaches used to endorse clinical improvement from a disease also help to understand the interaction of malignant cells with their microenvironment. Rece...

Controlled Drug Delivery Approaches for Rheumatoid Arthritis

A cure for rheumatoid arthritis is yet to be discovered. Although vast resources have been expended in the search for an immunological key to switch off the rheumatoid process, the most significant advances in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis in recent times had come from gaining better understanding and skill in the safe use of existing disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). If p...
