Description

Afzaal Mohammed and a large team build a nanoparticle system that delivers drugs to the lung's inner lining, in this 2026 Europe PMC paper. Pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome damages lung endothelial cells and carries high mortality, yet precise delivery to the pulmonary vasculature is hard. A protein called FOXF1, key to vessel growth and repair, drops in the disease.

Their Lung Endothelial Drug Delivery particles carry a new compound that prevents FOXF1 breakdown, restoring its levels only in lung endothelial cells. In a mouse model, treatment was non-toxic, improved survival, reduced vessel leakiness and aided repair and air sac development. The system is offered as a versatile platform for lung-targeted therapy.
