2003 MAY 12 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Bio-inspired pH-responsive polymers have been developed for the intracellular delivery of biomolecular drugs.
"The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries have developed a wide variety of potential therapeutics based on the molecules of biology: DNA, RNA, and proteins. While these therapeutics have tremendous potential, effectively formulating and delivering them have also been a widely recognized challenge," scientists in the United States report.
"A variety of viruses and toxins have evolved multi-functional biomolecules to solve this problem by directing cellular uptake and enhancing biomolecular ...
