Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Designs "Pill of the Future" Allowing Absorption Of Drug-Carrying Nanoparticles Through Digestive Tract

Nanoparticles very well may be the future of healthcare as they are currently on the edge of medical research. Scientists across the globe are utilizing the unique properties of nanoparticles to develop new treatment techniques, as well as targeted drug delivery systems, however most of these rely on the introduction of nanoparticles into the bloodstream. Currently, this has only been achieved parenterally, such as through intravenous injections, limiting the scope of the nanoparticles’ usefulness — for some patients injections may not be an option or may pose a serious inconvenience.
