Study provides proof-of-concept for the oral delivery of nanoparticles.

In many cases, oral administration is the preferred method of drug delivery, with formulation of nanoparticles shown to improve drug stability in the harsh gastrointestinal (GI) tract environment. However, diverse conditions in the GI tract, including varied pH, extensive mucus structure, and numerous cell types, are a proven barrier against effective oral delivery of nanoparticles.  Now, a study from researchers at the University of Utah … Continue reading Study provides proof-of-concept for the oral delivery of nanoparticles.
