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.
One of the issues faced by drug delivery is the solubility of the drug in the body; around 40% of newly detected chemicals found in drug discovery are poorly soluble in water. [28] This low solubility affects the bioavailability of the drug, meaning the rate at which the drug reaches the circulatory system and thus the target site.
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.
Nanofabrics research is an interdisciplinary effort involving bioengineering, [5] molecular chemistry, physics, electrical engineering, computer science, and systems engineering. [3] Applications of nanofabrics have the potential to revolutionize textile manufacturing [6] and areas of medicine such as drug delivery and tissue engineering. [7]
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.
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 ...
Melt blowing is a conventional fabrication method of micro- and nanofibers where a polymer melt is extruded through small nozzles surrounded by high speed blowing gas. The randomly deposited fibers form a nonwoven sheet product applicable for filtration, sorbents, apparels and drug delivery systems.
Tesla posted its first annual sales drop in more than a dozen years Thursday, undercutting a stock that has soared since Donald Trump’s victory on optimism Elon Musk’s close relationship to ...
