Description
Nemcovsky Amar and colleagues published a 2026 study on red blood cells as smart drug couriers. Red cells carry loads well and roam the blood for a long time. Their design lets squeezed cells spill cargo only where arteries narrow. That squeezing happens where flow speeds up through a tight spot.
Loaded cells released their cargo when pumped through narrowed artery models. Open vessels triggered no release from the same loaded cells. The sheared cells kept their skins intact and still slipped through tiny channels. Computer flow models tied release to how much cell skins stretched. Such carriers could aim clot-busting drugs at dangerous narrowings someday. Healthy cells nearby would be spared the drug's side effects.
