triggeredrelease
Triggered release refers to the on-demand release of a payload from a carrier system in response to a predefined stimulus. It is used in fields such as pharmacology and materials science to achieve spatial and temporal control over delivery, improving efficacy and reducing side effects compared with passive release.
Triggers can be physical, chemical, or biological. Physical triggers include temperature changes and light; chemical triggers
Common examples include pH-responsive polymers that dissolve or swell in acidic environments, such as tumor tissues
Applications span targeted drug delivery to improve therapeutic indices, vaccine adjuvant delivery, agricultural applications for precise
Research typically involves release kinetics studies, stimuli-response profiling, and preclinical testing to assess targeting accuracy, safety,
