Chitosan microparticles with gelatin coating: targeted drug delivery for the lungs
A novel approach to targeted drug release in the lungs
Innovative therapeutics increasingly require highly specialized delivery systems. In the recent publication “Dual-sensitive gelatin-coated chitosan microparticles (GL-ChMPs) for targeted lung delivery”, researchers present a promising strategy: chitosan-based microparticles coated with gelatin that can transport drugs directly to the lungs – smart, sensitive, and efficient.
Publications in March 2015
