Scientists have defined the workings of a new technique for making liquid-filled vesicles called liposomes, "fat bubbles" that may one day be used to precisely deliver drugs within the body. The new ...

Transporting drugs into the body can be hit-or-miss because many delicate molecules break down before they reach their target. In an attempt to develop protective drug-delivery tools, materials ...

Liposomes were formulated for the first time at the beginning of the 1960s, exosomes were named as such at the beginning of the 1980s. Liposomes have been extensively explored as a drug delivery ...

Drugs can be safely delivered to cancerous lymph nodes via the lymphatic system and then released inside the nodes using sound waves. Researchers tested the treatment on mice with metastatic breast ...

Alec Bangham, the researcher who in 1961 discovered liposomes -- tiny close-membraned vesicles -- died last month at the age of 88. A liposomeImage: Wikimedia commons, Dennis BartenTrained as a ...

Drugs can be safely delivered to cancerous lymph nodes via the lymphatic system and then released inside the nodes using sound waves. Tohoku University researchers tested the treatment on mice with ...

Cancer is transported from one organ to another by invisible bubbles. Understanding these microscopic messengers could change the fight against metastasis. Preventing cancer from spreading throughout ...
