Micro Transporters Travel Against The Flow of Blood To Deliver Drugs
In many cases, the precise delivery of drugs into diseased tissue remains a challenge. For example, drug delivery to pancreatic tumors is especially difficult due to its hypovascular and poorly perfused nature. Now, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart, Germany have developed microscopic drug delivery devices that can travel against […]
How Smart Bandages Are Transforming Medicine and Healthcare
Chronic wounds are a major health issue affecting tens of millions of people worldwide. While some bandages today are embedded with medicine to treat wounds, scientists have something much more advanced in mind for the future of chronic wound care – smart bandages. Smart bandages have pH sensors embedded in them, and they electronically deliver […]
Scientists Create Jellyfish-Inspired Robots that Deliver Drugs Inside Body
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart have created a tiny robot that mimics the jellyfish, plopping up and down within a liquid medium. This research holds great potential when investigating the impact of environmental changes in the ocean’s ecosystem. Another aim is for Jellyfishbot to be applied in the treatment […]

Wearable Skin Patches Market to Grow to Over $20 Billion Per Year by 2029,...
Smart skin patches are widely used in wearable devices. These patches use laminar batteries, often partially printed, plus printed electrode patterns to deliver drugs, cosmetics, tattoos and potentially performance boosting chemicals such as caffeine through the skin. IDTechEx Research has released a detailed update on their research on wearable skin patches titled “Electronic Skin Patches […]
Tiny Bluetooth-Driven Implant Deliver Drugs for Chronic Disease Management
Patients suffering from chronic diseases must follow complicated dosing regimens when taking their medications. People taking drugs for arthritis, hypertension, diabetes and heart disease find it difficult to keep track of when it is time to take the next pill. Researchers at Houston Methodist hospital have now developed an implantable device that can deliver a […]
