Formulation as a dry powder helps to alleviate the chemical and physical degradation that occurs when proteins are formulated into a liquid (typically an aqueous solution). Because dry powders show increased chemical and physical stability, they enable administration of therapeutic proteins to the lungs using a dry-powder inhaler.
