Reports Summarize Drug Delivery Systems Study Results from Ludong University (A Review of Recent Advances In Drug Loading, Mathematical Modeling and Applications of Hydrogel Drug Delivery Systems).

A recent report from Ludong University in Yantai, China discusses the advancements in drug delivery systems using hydrogels. Hydrogels are attractive for medical applications due to their mechanical properties, low cytotoxicity, and biocompatibility. The report summarizes the types of drugs that can be encapsulated in hydrogels and their interactions. It also explores the control mechanisms and factors affecting drug release, with a focus on applications in various body sites. The research was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and other organizations. [Extracted from the article]
