Beta-sitosterol lipid nanoparticles for aerosolized gene editing in lung diseases
Background Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-threatening genetic disorder caused by mutations in the CFTR gene, leading to progressive lung dysfunction. A particularly challenging mutation, W1282X, introduces a premature stop codon that results in non-functional CFTR protein. Patients with this mutation are largely unresponsive to current small molecule...

Engineered bacterial platform for in situ mRNA delivery to mammalian cells
Background Genetic medicine depends on the ability to deliver messenger RNA (mRNA) into mammalian cells to enable therapeutic protein expression, correct genetic defects, or produce antigens for vaccines. But current delivery systems face critical barriers that limit their clinical utility. DNA plasmid-based approaches often show poor transfection...

Dual-action topical formulations for enhanced skin penetration and targeted dermal repair
Background Dermatological and cosmetic treatments increasingly focus on targeted delivery of active compounds to the deeper skin layers to combat photoaging, oxidative damage, and carcino­genesis. However, the stratum corneum presents a formidable barrier to percutaneous absorption, limiting the efficacy of topically applied actives. Conventional...

High-dose dry powder inhaler for dual pulmonary and oral indomethacin delivery
Background Dry powder inhalers (DPIs) offer a non-invasive and rapid route for drug delivery, particularly for medications requiring swift systemic action. This is especially relevant for poorly soluble drugs such as indomethacin, where oral admini­stration is often limited by gastrointestinal degradation and adverse side effects. For indications...

Multilayered drug delivery implants for localized brain tumor therapy
Background As treatment strategies evolve for brain tumors, especially post-surgical resection, localized therapy is emerging as a promising alternative to systemic drug delivery. The blood-brain barrier, along with the sensitive anatomy of the brain, makes it difficult to achieve effective therapeutic concentrations using traditional methods without...

Covalent ERK inhibitors for suppressing cancer
BI-78D3, a small molecule, covalently binds to ERK1/2’s D-recruitment site, disrupting ERK signaling crucial for cancer cell growth. This shows promise for treating ERK-dependent cancers, including those resistant to BRAF inhibitors. This disrupts ERK signaling crucial for cell proliferation and survival, particularly in certain cancers like...
