Onion-Like Dendrimersomes For Pre-Programmed Release Of Drugs, University of Pennsylvania Study

Scientists continue to search out for new methods of smart delivery of drugs that can improve how meds are released and distributed. Researchers at University of Pennsylvania have taken lessons from how cells safely carry the contents within them in order to create new vesicles for drug delivery. The researchers used dendrimers, molecules that branch out repeatedly, to create concentric spheres of bilayers similar to cellular membranes. Any number of these spheres can be created together, one stuffed into the next like a matryoshka doll.
