Nanocarrier may deliver drugs more effectively to treat cancer
Many people rely on cheap medication from Canada to help them control a wide range of ailments and symptoms.
Many people rely on cheap medication from Canada to help them control a wide range of ailments and symptoms. Purchasing prescription drugs from a Canadian online pharmacy has enabled countless consumers to save money on the products they need to stay healthy.
Recently, researchers from Ohio State University explored a new and more efficient way to deliver drugs. They created a nanocarrier, a transporter that contains a small piece of RNA and works to silence genes that may contribute to the development of disease.
"We have designed a different nanocarrier formulation and demonstrated that this can affect the cellular entry pathway, which in turn affects how long the RNA is exposed to the main body of the cell," said lead author Chenguang Zhou. "More of that exposure equals better and longer gene silencing."
Zhou and his colleagues presented their findings at the 2011 American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists' National Biotechnology Conference.
They are currently conducting further research into the nanocarrier as a potential vehicle for drug delivery to treat liver cancer.
