n ON THE COVER
Conventional drug delivery is often like cracking a nut with
a sledgehammer. Whether the drug is swallowed, injected,
inhaled, or absorbed through the skin, it ultimately diffuses
to most parts of the body, including those where it isn't
needed - or where it even might cause harm. But what if
the delivery could be targeted at exactly the right spot?
This would allow the total dose to be dramatically lower,
thus minimizing side effects. Now, scientists have found a
way to perfect a promising, emerging method that does
just that. With their new protocol, the method is made
both safe and efficient for the first time, hopefully paving the way for first-in-human
trials. Read the article on page 22 to learn how the researchers developed a method
to deliver drugs to specific areas of the body where they are needed. The cover image
shows an AI-generated photograph depicting targeted drug delivery.
