Membrane-based Drug Delivery Systems
The golden goal of pharmaceutical research has long been the precise delivery of medications to a target lesion, producing maximum therapeutic efficacy with minimal adverse effects. Small-molecule medicines, nucleic acids, and proteins in particular, have poor solubility, low stability, and poor membrane permeability, which result in quick elimination, suboptimal biodistribution, and unintended harm to normal tissues. These challenges are inherent concerns with free medications. Because they have successfully improved druggability by overcoming the physicochemical restrictions of free drugs and by overcoming the physiological barriers to drug delivery, research and development of nanoparticulate drug delivery systems have experienced rapid growth and gained great interest, supported by significant advances in nanotechnology.
The development of membrane-based drug delivery devices has been extensively studied and developed by Creative Biolabs. Our drug delivery system development offerings include Membrane Vesicles (Extracellular Vesicles), Lipid Nanoparticles, Lipid Nanoparticles, Cell Membrane-coated Nanoparticles, Membrane Protein-based Specific Cell Type Targeting Tools, Lipid Nanoparticles for Intracellular Delivery, Inorganic Nanoparticles, Immunogold Nanoparticles and Hydrogels.

Membrane Vesicles (Extracellular Vesicles)
Lipid-based nanocarriers provide a flexible framework for drug encapsulation, which has helped various formulations reach the clinical stage. Extracellular-vesicle (EV)-based carrier systems produced from cells have garnered a lot of interest in addition to synthetic nanocarriers.
Lipid Nanoparticles
Lipid nanoparticles have become popular in the pharmaceutical sector as potential delivery systems for a range of medicinal medicines. Lipid nanoparticles are now being used in a variety of industries, including agriculture, nutrition, and other cutting-edge ones like nanoreactors.
Glycerosomes
Glycerosomes are microscopic vesicular structures made of phospholipids and water that can transport the active ingredients in a topical application. Glycerosomal vesicles primarily serve to safeguard and facilitate the penetration of active ingredients into the deeper layers of the skin.
Cell Membrane-coated Nanoparticles
The unique characteristics of cell membrane-coated nanoparticles, such as immune evasion, prolonged blood circulation time, precise molecular recognition, and cell targeting, have recently been acknowledged as promising nanomedical tools.
Membrane Protein-based Specific Cell Type Targeting Tools
Additionally, Creative Biolabs provides specialized goods for the creation and synthesis of targeted agents based on membrane proteins. For a variety of applications in drug delivery, our experts design and engineer highly precise and stable targeting tools using cutting-edge molecular biology techniques.
Lipid Nanoparticles for Intracellular Delivery
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) serve as a dynamic and efficient medium for delivering therapeutic agents inside cells, encompassing a range of bioactive molecules from nucleic acids and proteins to small drugs. Their design, tailored to the unique physicochemical properties of these cargos, enhances both safety and efficacy. Innovations in combinatorial lipid libraries have further refined LNP technology, expanding their use in gene therapy and cancer treatment. Creative Biolabs excels in customizing LNPs, leveraging advances in this field to develop novel treatments that are transforming targeted drug delivery and precision medicine in research environments.
Inorganic Nanoparticles
Inorganic nanoparticles play a crucial role in drug delivery systems, leveraging their unique attributes like biocompatibility, and hydrophilicity. Unlike organic alternatives, they offer robust resistance to microbial degradation, enhancing their suitability for biomedical uses such as diagnostics, nano-drug delivery, and biomedical implants.
Immunogold Nanoparticles
Immunogold nanoparticles (IGNPs) have transformed biomedical research, offering exceptional specificity and sensitivity in labeling and detection applications. These nanoparticles are biocompatible and easily functionalized, making them invaluable in scientific fields such as electron microscopy and immunoassays. Recent advancements highlight their potential for research use only (RUO) in drug delivery systems, providing a new approach to targeted therapeutics.
Hydrogels
Hydrogels, intricate polymer networks crosslinked in three dimensions to retain extensive water volumes, are drawing considerable interest in drug delivery research. These adaptable materials provide numerous benefits, such as superb biocompatibility, customizable physical characteristics, and controlled release capabilities for protecting therapeutic substances. With increasing demand for sophisticated drug delivery solutions, hydrogels offer a promising avenue to overcome traditional constraints and improve treatment effectiveness significantly.
