Russian scientists develop “smart” material for magnetically controlled drug release
A model of a “smart” composite material that enables controlled drug release has been proposed by Russian scientists from five leading universities in the country. This solution could be in demand for implementing delayed therapy approaches, where a drug loaded into the composite is not released immediately but after a certain time and in the required dosage. Activating the process only requires a single application of a magnetic field, such as those generated by modern medical tomographs.
