Solving the drug solubility problem with silica nanoparticles

Adsorption of APIs and water molecules on silica surfaces of different silica densities. Credit: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (2025). doi:10.1073/pnas.2423426122 Researchers at Harvard University and Hong Kong China University have developed methods that increase the solubility of drug molecules up to three orders of magnitude. This could be a breakthrough in drug formulations and delivery. Over 60%…
