Gene delivery is, arguably, the biggest bottleneck in gene therapy. Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are the historical mainstay, but they are expensive to manufacture and have payload limits and ...

A research team from POSTECH has developed a biodegradable polymer-based delivery system that efficiently transports mRNA. The study was recently published in Biomaterials. Since the COVID-19 pandemic ...

A team led by engineers has developed a biodegradable polymer system to treat rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune and inflammatory disease, by working in concert with the power of the human immune ...

The voltage response of a conjugated polymer system is not fully understood. Jonathan Rivnay, Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering; Ruiheng Wu, postdoctoral ...

What is Polymer-Based Drug Delivery? Polymer drug delivery uses a device or a formulation that facilitates the incorporation of a therapeutic substance in the body. Polymers are used extensively for ...

A team led by engineers at the University of California San Diego has developed a biodegradable polymer system to treat rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune and inflammatory disease, by working in ...

The US Food and Drug Administration has approved a new system for nerve repair based on light-activated polymers rather than surgical stitches. The flexible polymer system was developed by the medical ...

Researchers recently announced that they have engineered a new class of material, called a 'polyzwitterionic complex,' or 'pZC,' which is able to both withstand the harsh acidic conditions of the ...

Most polymers don’t mix—and that’s the point. Polymer alloys succeed by engineering the interface: use thermodynamics to predict separation, processing to sculpt morphology, and compatibilizers to ...
