E-drug delivery: a futuristic approach.

Abstract:

:Drug delivery systems are undergoing technology changes to enhance patient comfort and compliance. Electronic drug delivery (E-drug delivery) systems are being developed to regulate drug dose delivery by easy monitoring of doses, especially in chronic and age-related diseases. E-drug delivery can monitor the correct dose of anesthesia, could be used in GI tracking by E-capsules, in epilepsy, insulin drug delivery, cardiac ailments and cancer therapy. Wearable E-drug delivery systems and Smartphone apps are the new additions. In this review, the authors attempt to highlight how technology is changing for improved patient comfort and treatment. Personalized drug delivery systems will be the future treatment process in healthcare.

  • Methods to identify and optimize small molecules interacting with RNA (SMIRNAs).

    abstract::RNAs, particularly noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), are becoming increasingly important therapeutic targets, because they are causative and antagonists of human disease. Indeed, aberrant RNA structural elements and expression deregulate biological processes. In this review, we describe methodologies to discover and optimize s...
