Targeting of Inhaled Therapeutics to the Small Airways: Nanoleucine Carrier Formulations

Current dry powder formulations for inhalation deposit a large fraction of their emitted dose in the upper respiratory tract where they contribute to off-target adverse effects and variability in lung delivery. The purpose of the current study is to design a new formulation concept that more effecti...
