Macrophages play a vital role in protecting the body against tissue damage and foreign pathogens by regulating the immune response. With the in-depth understanding of macrophages in recent years, more and more studies focus on macrophage-targeted drug delivery systems.

Based on the advancement in nanotechnology, different polymeric-based nanoparticles, dendrimers, functionalized nano cargoes, and lipid-based nano-drug delivery carriers have been applied to macrophage-targeted drug delivery systems.

Macrophages as Targets of Drug Delivery System

Macrophages have been explored as potential targets of drug delivery systems based on several characteristics:

• The tropism to hypoxia and the ability to migrate and infiltrate into tumors.
• Macrophages can specialize into two types M1 and M2 macrophages possessing different functions, and the two types of cells express diverse targets on the surface.
• Good biocompatibility and biodegradability.
• Improvement of drug targeting ability.

Q & A

Q: What types of drugs are supported by your technology platform?

A: Our technology platform supports many types of drugs, including small molecules, peptides, nucleic acids (e.g., siRNAs and mRNAs), and biological vaccines. Our vector systems can be optimized for different drug properties to ensure effectiveness and targeting.

Q: How is progress communicated and reported during implementation?

A: We value communication with our customers. After the project is initiated, we will formulate a detailed progress plan and provide regular reports to the client, including the progress of each stage, experimental results, and follow-up plans. We also welcome customers to communicate with us at any time through meetings or emails to ensure the smooth progress of the project.

Q: If I have my own R&D team, how can you work with us?

A: We are happy to cooperate with our customers' R&D teams. We can act as their technical partner and provide necessary technical guidance and experimental support. The mode of cooperation can be chosen flexibly, including but not limited to project co-development, technology transfer or providing consulting services.

Q: What is the approximate development cycle and cost budget?

A: The development cycle usually varies depending on the complexity of the project and typically takes 6 to 12 months. The cost budget will also be evaluated based on specific needs (e.g. material selection, experiment scale, technical difficulty, etc.). We will communicate thoroughly with our clients to ensure high quality services within budget.
