Next generation: in vivo drug factories

摘要

Researchers use UV light to stimulate protein production in nano-sized delivery capsules in mice. Device: Science is one step closer to producing drugs in the right place at the right time in the body, avoiding the collateral damage of untargeted treatments. Researchers led by Daniel Anderson at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have designed nanoparticles that can be stimulated via UV light to produce proteins on demand in vivo.
