Across the U.S., hundreds of sites on land or in lakes and rivers are heavily contaminated with hazardous waste produced by ...

Research on preventing type 1 diabetes often focuses on limiting the autoimmune response that destroys the body's ability to produce its own insulin. A new technology developed by scientists at the ...

Researchers at UChicago have developed a nanoparticle system that can effectively deliver mRNA to insulin-producing cells, protecting them from the body’s autoimmune response ...

A crucial element in both the synthesis and functionality of nanoparticles involves the attachment of ligands. 6 The appropriate choice of ligands can enhance the solubility of nanoparticles or affect ...

Researchers at Tel Aviv University have developed a new platform using polymeric nanoparticles to deliver drug pairs to specific cancer types, including skin cancer and breast cancer. The researchers ...

Scientists from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands have identified receptors and proteins that play a role in cells’ internal buildup of nanoparticles. Many of these receptors and proteins ...

Photothermal therapies utilize photosensitizing agents to convert applied light into heat. This release of energy results in localized damage to targeted cells or other therapeutic effects. Plasmonic ...

When designing a nanoparticle-enabled drug delivery system, many intersecting considerations must be taken into account, such as the target location of the drug payload, the method of delivery, uptake ...

Researchers have explored ways to combine these materials into mixed-dimensional heterostructures that could harness the advantages of both. However, controlling the interaction between the components ...
