Scientists at the University of Oregon have developed self-assembled peptide nanomaterials that facilitate the delivery of drugs through the cell membrane. According to Naked Science, abbreviated as CSPN. "CSPN is a new modular drug delivery platform that can be programmed into the required structures by fine-tuning the amino acids in a certain sequence," said the study leader Gaurav Sahay. The new technique allows to assemble from the amino acids "bur", which easily penetrates through the cell membrane.

Together with it it is possible to deliver medicinal substances inside the cell through the "drilled hole". It is possible to selectively configure such a "nanosyringe" for specific pharmacological needs. Scientists emphasize that it is possible to regulate not only the efficiency of penetration into the cell, but also parameters such as biodegradability and biocompatibility. Previously reported that scientists have found a way to avoid premature death. News from Telegram. Subscribe to our channel https: // t. me / korrespondentnet.
