Polymer sphere for drug delivery

Drug delivery capsule. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a burst drug delivery capsule revealing smaller capsules (blue) inside it. Some drugs work best when delivered to a specific site in the body. They can be encased in a capsule that is designed to burst only at that point, in response to its environment. This capsule can contain not just the drug but also other capsules containing other drugs, which can be targeted at other parts of the body. Magnification: x3000 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a polymer sphere designed for drug delivery, providing a glimpse into the fascinating world of medical advancements. The image, captured using a scanning electron microscope, reveals a burst drug delivery capsule with smaller capsules nestled inside it, each colored in mesmerizing shades of blue. In the field of medicine, certain drugs exhibit optimal efficacy when targeted to specific sites within the body. To achieve this precision, scientists have developed ingenious capsules that are engineered to burst only at predetermined points in response to their environment. This breakthrough technology allows for controlled release and targeted delivery of medications. What makes this innovation even more remarkable is that these capsules can house not just one drug but multiple smaller capsules containing different medications. Each tiny capsule can be directed towards distinct areas of the body requiring treatment or relief. This intricate system ensures that various drugs are released precisely where they are needed most. With an impressive magnification level of x3000 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this photograph offers us an extraordinary view into the realm of time-release drug delivery systems. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of improving medical treatments for enhanced patient care.
