Magnetic Drug TargetingMagnetic Drug Targeting

Current research on methods to target chemotherapy drugs in the human body includes the investigation of bio compatible magnetic nano-carrier systems, e.g., magnetic liquids such as ferrofluids. This model example investigates an external...

Drug Release from a Biomaterial MatrixDrug Release from a Biomaterial Matrix

In this example, drug-release from a biomaterial matrix to damaged cell tissue is modelled. Specifically, a nerve guide delivers a regenerating drug to damaged nerve ends. The model involves detailed drug release kinetics, with rate...

DNA DegradationDNA Degradation

In gene therapy, plasmid DNA (pDNA) can express desired proteins in the human body. A major issue in gene therapy consequently involves the transport of pDNA to target sites and the conversion between different forms of this species....
