The future perspectives of natural materials for pulmonary drug delivery and lung tissue engineering.

摘要: Introduction: Search for new, functional biomaterials that can be used to synergistically deliver a drug, enhance its adsorption and stimulate the post-injury recovery of tissue function, is one priorities in biomedicine. Currently materials drug delivery fail satisfy or more these functionalities, thus they have limited potential new classes are urgently needed.Areas covered: Natural materials, due their origin, physical chemical structure potentially fulfill requirements there already strong evidence usefulness delivery. They increasingly utilized various therapeutic applications obvious advantages over synthetic materials. Particularly pulmonary delivery, been limitations use such as polymers lipids, leading an increase natural protein-based silk, keratin, elastin collagen. Literature search each speciali...
