Chinese researchers have developed a wireless, paper-thin patch that attaches to an organ to create a highway for drug delivery.

To solve an important problem in drug delivery, a research team that includes Beihang University and Peking University developed an electronic patch that acts like a band-aid for organs.

Traditional drug delivery systems send a vague package through the body that requires higher doses than necessary and might harm organs in the process of trying to find their destination. Large-molecule drugs, or biopharmaceuticals based on proteins, face an even greater challenge as the cell membrane often blocks these drugs, according to CGTN.
