Protein-Based Drug-Delivery Materials
There is a pressing need for long-term, controlled drug release for sustained treatment of chronic or persistent medical conditions and diseases. Guided drug delivery is difficult because therapeutic compounds need to survive numerous transport barriers and binding targets throughout the body. Nanoscale protein-based polymers are increasingly used for drug and vaccine delivery to cross these bi...
متن کاملComputational Amphiphilic Materials for Drug Delivery
Amphiphilic materials can assemble into a wide variety of morphologies and have emerged as a novel class of candidates for drug delivery. Along with a large number of experiments reported, computational studies have also been conducted in this field. At an atomistic/molecular level, computations can facilitate quantitative understanding of experimental observations and secure fundamental interp...
متن کاملHydrogels: Smart Materials for Drug Delivery
The limitations associated with the conventional therapeutics have intended the use of controlled drug delivery systems. In recent years, the hydrogel technology has been an integral part of human health care. The pharmaceutical industry has been developing hydrogel based drug delivery system in an advanced manner by tuning the structure, shape and surface modifications of the biopolymers. The ...
متن کاملDendrimer: Globular Nanostructured Materials for Drug Delivery
Nanotechnology is an emerging research field that helps in reviving the structural design, synthesis and fabrication at the molecular magnitude. There are approximately 130 nanopharmaceutical products in development including~nanoparticles, nanocrystals, dendrimers, liposomes and micelles. The increase in the selectivity and stability of therapeutic agents can be achieved with the help of Nanop...
متن کاملFunctionalization of protein-based nanocages for drug delivery applications.
Traditional drug delivery strategies involve drugs which are not targeted towards the desired tissue. This can lead to undesired side effects, as normal cells are affected by the drugs as well. Therefore, new systems are now being developed which combine targeting functionalities with encapsulation of drug cargo. Protein nanocages are highly promising drug delivery platforms due to their perfec...
