  2. Nanofiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanofiber

    This adjustability is important for their application in drug delivery system in which the functional parameters need to be precisely controlled. [8] Preliminary studies indicate that antibiotics and anticancer drugs may be encapsulated in electrospun nanofibers by adding the drug into the polymer solution prior to electrospinning.

  3. Nanocarrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanocarrier

    Nanocarriers are useful in the drug delivery process because they can deliver drugs to site-specific targets, allowing drugs to be delivered in certain organs or cells but not in others. Site-specificity is a major therapeutic benefit as it prevents drugs from being delivered to the wrong places.

  4. Nanoparticle drug delivery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanoparticle_drug_delivery

    Nanoparticle drug delivery systems are engineered technologies that use nanoparticles for the targeted delivery and controlled release of therapeutic agents. The modern form of a drug delivery system should minimize side-effects and reduce both dosage and dosage frequency. Recently, nanoparticles have aroused attention due to their potential ...

  5. Drug carrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_carrier

    A drug carrier or drug vehicle is a substrate used in the process of drug delivery which serves to improve the selectivity, effectiveness, and/or safety of drug administration. [1] Drug carriers are primarily used to control the release of drugs into systemic circulation.

  6. Magnetic nanoparticles in drug delivery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_nanoparticles_in...

    In this drug delivery system, after the drug reaches the target site and tumor cell uptake is complete, an external magnetic field is applied causing a magnetothermal effect, raising the tumor cells' temperature and further promoting drug uptake. This nanocarrier system aims to improve drug stability, control drug release, and improve tumor ...

  7. Targeted drug delivery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Targeted_drug_delivery

    The conventional drug delivery system is the absorption of the drug across a biological membrane, whereas the targeted release system releases the drug in a dosage form. The advantages to the targeted release system is the reduction in the frequency of the dosages taken by the patient, having a more uniform effect of the drug, reduction of drug ...

    THERE ARE A lot of complex scientific topics present in Netflix's 3 Body Problem (presented, believe it or not, in a far more digestible way than the intense concepts presented in author Cixin Liu ...

  9. Drug delivery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_delivery

    Drug delivery systems have been around for many years, but there are a few recent applications of drug delivery that warrant 1. Drug delivery to the brain: Many drugs can be harmful when administered systemically; the brain is very sensitive to medications and can easily cause damage if a drug is administered directly into the bloodstream.
