A breakthrough in the field of nanomedicine may soon revolutionize the way we treat obesity. Researchers from the Institute of Nanotechnology for Drug Delivery & Diagnostics in China have developed a nanoparticle-based drug delivery system that could provide a safe and effective treatment for obesity. This system consists of a nanoparticle that is capable of carrying a drug to the targeted area in the body and releasing it only when needed. This could allow for a targeted and sustained release of the drug, which could significantly reduce the overall side effects associated with current treatments. The team is currently in the process of testing the system in animal models and, if successful, it could be translated into human clinical studies in the near future.
