Therapeutic Nanofiber Hydrogels for Local Treatment of Brain-related Diseases

Case ID:

C13285

We have developed a novel type of therapeutic agent-containing liquids that comprise self-assembling peptide nanofibers and physically encapsulated and chemically bound medicinal compounds, capable of transforming into a gel form upon contact with body fluids. The resulting gel can gradually release the incorporated therapeutic agents in a controlled manner over a long period of time. This platform technology allows for effective incorporation of various kinds of therapeutic agents for improved treatments of brain-related diseases through local delivery.
