Copolymers can be used in microparticle or "particle-in-particle" drug delivery. Polymers that do not dissolve in acidic solutions can be used to coat a drug to prevent it being released in the stomach; or slowly dissolving polymers can slowly release a drug, reducing the number of times a day a person has to take medication.

The inner particle, shown here in orange, is loaded with the drug prednisolone, used to treat inflammatory bowel disease. The outer particle, in blue, is the copolymer that encapsulates it.

Spike Walker has made even the mundane look beautiful. This image of aspirin crystals was taken using a light microscope. Aspirin is not just used as a painkiller and anti-inflammatory, it also has anticoagulant properties. (Image: M. I. Walker)

This image shows two red blood cells. A normal red blood cell is shown as a background to a red blood cell affected by sickle-cell anaemia.

Sickle-cell anaemia is a blood disease that causes the cell to form this characteristic shape, which affects its ability to carry haemoglobin. It is a genetic disorder caused when a person has two copies of a certain gene. It is common in countries where malaria is prevalent, as carrying one copy of the sickle-cell gene provides resistance to malaria.
