A collaborative effort between researchers at Virginia Tech and Virginia Commonwealth Universities has led to the development of a novel approach for the targeted delivery of imaging and therapeutic agents.

It is well known that the IL-13 Ra2 cell receptor is over-expressed in brain tumors. An IL-13 peptide, known to ...

Tuberculosis, brucellosis or salmonellosis are bacterial infections that need long term therapy due to the localization of the bacteria inside the cell. Patients requiring treatment need continuous administration so that the bio-availability of the drugs is sufficient enough in circulation to either kill or minimize the bacterial load. ...

A novel family of water-dispersible cellulose derivatives with the following advantages:

- Exceptional hydrolytic stability

- Ability to enhance controlled release of active ingredients from formulations

- Significantly enhance the bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs ...

?Lab-on-a-chip? or ?microfluidic? systems have attracted great attention due to their substantial advantages such as higher speed, lower power requirement, lower sample consumption, reduced cost, and greatly increased portability. Microfluidic devices are made of a network of microchannels integrated into planar substrate surfaces. The use of MEMS technology and silicon ...
