Revolutionary Drug Delivery Method Reverses Stem Cell Senescence

Researchers have developed a new method of delivering antioxidants to stem cells that can prevent senescence, a process of cellular aging. The method utilizes polymer-stabilized crystals created through microfluidics, which ensures uniform size and dosage, minimizing variation in drug release between cells. The crystals dissolve at a slower rate, resulting in a uniform and extended release of the drug, increasing its effectiveness. This approach could improve the reproducibility of stem cell cultures and enhance the production of biomolecules for therapeutic use. The method has potential applications in biomanufacturing and could be used to deliver other drugs directly into target tissues.
