Professor Sangyong Jon’s group has developed an organ-selective drug delivery platform based on a library of glycocalyx-mimicking nanoparticles (GlyNPs). Direct in vivo library screening enables identification of GlyNP hits targeting the liver, spleen, lung, kidneys, heart, and brain. When liver-, kidney-, and spleen-selective GlyNP hits are equipped with therapeutics, the formulations effectively alleviated symptoms in organ-associated disease models....read more
Synergy in hybrid-A new hybrid platform is developed based on a hapten-labeled bispecific peptide and an anti-hapten antibody to overcome the short plasma half-life of most peptide therapeutics....read more
