Recent trends in precision drug and gene delivery

Abstract

Delivery is the key to the proper functioning of a system—be it in a social network or a living organism. Imagine your groceries getting delivered to your office or the birthday gift you ordered for your dear ones doesn't reach you on time. Similarly, the payload must be timely delivered to the target biological sites for function, prevention, and cure. Thus, precision delivery has been one of the prime focuses of research. Over the decades, researchers have developed many efficient delivery systems for a diverse set of payloads like drug molecules, genes, nutrients, diagnostic probes, engineered cells, or nanorobots. Here we discuss the recent advancement in precision drug and gene delivery for various biological applications.
