A Shot at Simpler Antibody Treatments

Antibody treatments for cancer and other diseases are typically delivered intravenously, requiring hours-long hospital visits for each dose. The Doyle Lab’s new approach, reported in Advanced Materials, packs highly concentrated antibodies into solid microparticles that dissolve quickly after injection, fitting full doses in a standard syringe. This makes treatment faster, easier, and more accessible for patients who have difficulty getting to a hospital.
