Ocular Drug Delivery: Targeting the Posterior Segment

An inch or less. That is the short distance an ocular drug must travel to reach a target site at the back of the eye. Research has traveled a long way over the past 4 decades in efforts to make this inch-long journey more successful. Delivering ocular drugs to their target tissues often requires them to traverse the fatwater-fat structure of the corneal barrier, while ensuring minimum wastage t...

Pericyte-targeting drug delivery and tissue engineering

Pericytes are contractile mural cells that wrap around the endothelial cells of capillaries and venules. Depending on the triggers by cellular signals, pericytes have specific functionality in tumor microenvironments, properties of potent stem cells, and plasticity in cellular pathology. These features of pericytes can be activated for the promotion or reduction of angiogenesis. Frontier studie...
