Professor Mahiran said in pharmaceuticals an innovation has produced successfully a drugs delivery method to penetrate the'blood brain barrier'especially for diseases that are associated with the brain such as Alzheimer Parkinson epilepsy and meningitis.
Drugs are normally hard to make reach beyond the'blood brain barrier'.'Thus we created drugs through nanotechnology
and that way we hope they are more effective she said. She added the innovation has been tested on animals
It may also help identify rare mutations and subtypes of infectious diseases as well as drug-resistant strains.
and carry payloads of pharmaceutical drugs to targeted tissues. However, when usual methods to produce carbon nanoparticles are rather complex
They used spectroscopy to confirm the formulation as well as visualize the delivery of the particles and drug molecules.
The experiment showed that the carbon nanoparticles did not release the drug payload at room temperature
They began to release the anticancer drug only at body temperature. Scientists also found that they can alter the infusion of the particles into melanoma cells by adjusting the polymer coatings.
Study showed that cancer cells were affected positively by drugs delivered by these carbon nanoparticles. These carbon nanoparticles,
They can be used to carry a variety of different drugs into a human body. It is a very versatile platform to treat melanoma, other kinds of cancers and other diseases.
as well as to make it carry several different drugs at the same time to allow for a multidrug therapy with the same particles.
and tune them to release the drugs in the presence of the cellular environment. This is a great achievement,
which will eventually lead to innovative drug therapies for cancer and other diseases i

including prolonged drug delivery, electronic monitoring, and weight-loss intervention. However, these devices, often created with nondegradable elastic polymers, bear an inherent risk of intestinal obstruction as a result of accidental fracture or migration.
including orally delivered capsules that can release drugs over a number of days, weeks, or potentially months following a single administration.
or extended-release drug-delivery systems that could last for weeks or months after a single administration. his delivery system provides a flexible and smooth external covering that slowly disintegrates,
which could release drugs or small devices for monitoring and imaging the GI TRACT, says Edith Mathiowitz,
In particular, the authors say they are excited for the drug-delivery applications of this technology. With further work in adjusting the polymer composition or the design of the system
they say that they could tailor devices to release drugs over a specific timeframe of up to weeks or months at a time.
MIT is negotiating an exclusive license agreement with Lyndra, an early-stage biotechnology company developing novel oral drug-delivery systems,
