Sustained Administration of Hormones Exploiting Nanoconfined Diffusion through Nanochannel Membranes

Implantable devices may provide a superior means for hormone delivery through maintaining serum levels within target therapeutic windows. Zero-order administration has been shown to reach an equilibrium with metabolic clearance, resulting in a constant serum concentration and bioavailability of rele...
