Gastroretentive drug delivery systems (GRDDS) represent a sophisticated approach to oral medication by extending the retention time of dosage forms in the stomach. This increased residence time can ...

A team of researchers has created an innovative drug delivery system with outstanding potential to improve drug development. A team of University of Melbourne researchers from the Caruso ...

When cancer patients undergo chemotherapy, the dose of most drugs is calculated based on the patient’s body surface area. This is estimated by plugging the patient’s height and weight into an equation ...

When designing a nanoparticle-enabled drug delivery system, many intersecting considerations must be taken into account, such as the target location of the drug payload, the method of delivery, uptake ...

To improve chemotherapy dosing, engineers designed CLAUDIA, a way to continuously measure how much drug is in a patient's system during hours-long infusion. When cancer patients undergo chemotherapy, ...

An Australian research team has achieved an advanced materials breakthrough that opens the door to a new generation of nanodrug applications. From drug delivery, to diagnostics, to gene editing and ...

Drug delivery utilizes various methods and/or carriers to transport therapeutic agents to the tissue, organ, cell, or subcellular organ of interest for release and absorption. Some of the primary ...

Taking medications on time, in the right dose and for the prescribed duration can be challenging for patients, and failure to do so comes with steep costs, causing 10% of hospitalizations and billions ...
