Drug delivery technology has emerged as an important focus of biotechnological research and commercial enterprise. While much attention is focused on the design and effectiveness of drug delivery devices, the nature of their interaction with surrounding tissues – their biocompatibility – is crucial.
In the latest Chemical Science Mini review Daniel Kohane and Robert Langer discuss biocompatibility, specifically as it relates to drug delivery systems, which differ from other biomaterial-based devices by possibly containing large quantities of drugs with their own effects on tissues. Let us know your thought on this topic by commenting below.
