Researchers create new ’smart’ nanocapsule delivery system for use in protein therapy (EurekAlert!)

( University of California - Los Angeles ) Today protein therapy is considered the most direct and safe approach for treating diseases. However the effectiveness of this treatment has been limited by its low delivery efficiency and poor stability against proteases.UCLA researchers have recently unveiled a new novel intracellular delivery platform based on nanocapsules consisting of a single …
