Description

Anan Zhang and co-authors built a long-acting drug delivery system to protect blood-forming cells during cancer treatment, in this 2026 study. Some cancer drugs lower white and red cell counts, which can force doctors to pause or cut treatment. The team loaded a plant-derived compound into tiny plastic spheres whose pores they tuned with care.

After one injection into muscle, blood levels of the compound rose fast and held steady for many days. In animal models of low blood counts, the spheres restored cell counts and revived the marrow's growth signals. Paired with cancer drugs, the system also helped treatment work better, the team reports.
