Pharmacotectonics concept

A pharmacotectonics concept was illustrated by researchers, in which drug-delivery systems were arranged spatially in tissues to shape concentration fields for potent agents. NGF-releasing implants placed within 1-2 mm of the treatment site enhanced the biological function of cellular targets, whereas identical implants placed mm from the target site of treatment produced no beneficial effect (Mahoney and Saltzman, 1999). Because of some limitations with controlled delivery systems, alternatives such as encapsulation of cells that secrete these factors are discussed in the next section.
