Drug delivery and diagnostic imaging can lack specificity, but a new method from UC San Diego biochem prof Neal Devaraj lets specially‑caged compounds stay inert until reaching a target cell’s enzymes, potentially allowing for more precise drug delivery and diagnostic imaging. https://bit.ly/4fWiZcj
Drug delivery and diagnostic imaging often lack specificity, but a new “TRACE” method lets specially‑caged compounds stay inert until a target cell’s enzymes quickly remove the cage, potentially allowing for more precise drug delivery and sharper diagnostic imaging.
