Researchers show that lipid nanoparticles are ideal for delivering genes and drugs

At the Faculty of Pharmacy of the Basque Public University, the Pharmacokinetics, Nanotechnology and Gene Therapy research team is using nanotechnology to develop new formulations that can be applied to drugs and gene therapy. Specifically, they are using nanoparticles to design systems for delivering genes and drugs; this helps to get the genes and drugs tothe point of action so that they can produce the desired effect.
