Researchers at the University of Buffalo (UB) have released results indicating that ORMOSIL (organically modified silica) nanoparticles could be used to deliver drugs. Each nanoparticle is a vessel, containing cavities that scientists can fill with helpful chemical compounds or gene therapies. The researchers are particularly interested in using ORMOSIL to deliver drugs deep in the brain, targeting problems related to neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease. A recent study...
