Drug uptake discovery could allow IV medications to be taken orally

A team of scientists has uncovered the mechanism of cellular uptake for large and polar drugs and devised a novel strategy to optimize the capacity of drug-delivery into these cells. The team was led by Hong-yu Li, Ph.D., professor of medicinal chemistry and chemical biology with the Department of Pharmacology and the Barshop Institute at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UT Health San Antonio), together with teams from Duke University (Duke) and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS)
