Tracking targeted drug delivery is often a challenge due to limitations in current imaging techniques. A recent study by Tokyo's Waseda University reports a breakthrough imaging technique that allows ...

Photopharmacology is an emerging approach that uses light-responsive compounds to control drug activity with high spatial and temporal precision. Traditional therapeutics typically result in unwanted ...

Researchers from the Institute of Polymer Science and Engineering, National Taiwan University, have developed a smart gel that responds to multiple stimuli for precise drug release. Gels that respond ...

Scientists have developed new light-sensitive chemicals that can radically improve the treatment of aggressive cancers with minimal side effects. In mouse tests, the new therapy completely eradicated ...

Folate receptors (FRs), notably the alpha and beta isoforms, are highly expressed on a range of tumour cells and on activated macrophages within the tumour microenvironment. Exploiting this ...

Tracking targeted drug delivery is often a challenge due to limitations in the current imaging techniques. A recent study reports a breakthrough imaging technique that allows direct and highly ...

Researchers develop a novel activation imaging technique that enables real-time visualization of gold nanoparticles in the body without the use of external tracers. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are tiny ...
