Inhalable Supramolecular Therapeutics to Treat Lung Diseases

Unmet NeedThe current global market for respiratory drugs is expected to increase from $30.9 billion in 2016 to $41.3 billion in 2023. While many aerosol therapeutics are used to treat lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, and cystic fibrosis, administration of drugs selectively to the lungs remains challenging. The nature...

Tolerogenic Artificial Antigen-Presenting Cells

Unmet Need Autoimmune diseases are often treated with immunosuppressants that weaken the entire immune system, leaving patients vulnerable to infection. An ideal autoimmune therapy would establish immune tolerance to a specific self-antigen, while the rest of the immune system remains intact. One promising approach for regulating autoimmunity is via...

A Novel Method to Efficiently Synthesize a Biodegradable Dextran to Use as an Efficient Cationic Nanopolymer Carrier for siRNA Delivery

Unmet NeedIn theory, RNA interference (RNAi) can be used to decrease expression of any gene driving a disease or pathology, but has seen limited clinical usage as gene therapy due to technical issues, i.e., small interfering RNA (siRNA) cannot enter cells efficiently due to their weight and charge. As such, a carrier molecule is needed to bring siRNA...
