Molecular communication is transmitting and receiving chemical signals using molecules and is an interdisciplinary field between nanotechnology, biology, and communication. Molecular communication can be used for connecting bio-nano things. The connected nano-things build a nano-network. Transport mechanisms in molecular communication include free diffusion, gap junction channels, molecular motors, self-propelling microorganisms like bacteria and random collision of mobile nano-things. Free diffusion is the most widely used transport mechanism in the literature. Brownian motion is always available and its energy consumption is zero. This paper explores the therapeutic applications of rate control in the Internet of Bio-Nano Things and reviews the recent trends and advancements in the field of molecular communication. These methods aim to guarantee the desired rate of drug molecules at the target site and overcome the side effects of excessive emission.

Diffusion Enhancement

Diffusion enhancement is a phenomenon in which the diffusion coefficient of a system is increased by an external force and it becomes larger than that of the force-free diffusion in thermal equilibrium. It is known that this phenomenon occurs for a Brownian particle in a periodic potential under a constant external force. Recently, it was found that diffusion enhancement also occurred in a biological molecular motor, whose moving part could move itself by switching the potentials generated by the other parts. It was shown that the diffusion coefficient exhibited peaks as a function of a constant external force. Here, we report the occurrence of an additional peak and investigate the condition governing its appearance.

Recent Trends

Oral drug delivery is the most preferred route for the various drug molecules among all other routes of drug delivery, because ease of administration which lead to better patient compliance. So, oral extended release drug delivery system becomes a very promising approach for those drugs that are given orally but having the shorter half-life and high dosing frequency. Recent trends indicate that multiparticulate drug delivery systems are especially suitable for achieving extended release oral formulations with low risk of dose dumping, flexibility of blending to attain different release patterns as well as reproducible and short gastric residence time. The release of drug from pellets depends on a variety of factors including the carrier used to form pellets and the amount of drug contained in them. Consequently, pellets provide tremendous opportunities for designing new controlled and extended release oral formulations, thus extending the frontier of future pharmaceutical development.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/icpj.v2i10.16413 International Current Pharmaceutical Journal, September 2013, 2(10): 177-184
