Northwestern Medicine researchers have uncovered the Achilles heel of chemotherapy-resistant ovarian cancer – its need for cholesterol — and how to utilize it to get rid of it.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists and medical professionals used mRNA to deliver a vaccine for the virus within a year, demonstrating to the public the importance of mRNA.
Researchers at São Paulo State University (UNESP) have created a revolutionary therapeutic approach that has the potential to completely change the way that visceral leishmaniasis, a neglected tropical disease (NTD) spread by sandflies, is treated.
Columbia Biomedical Engineer Ke Cheng has developed a technique that uses inhalation of exosomes, or nanobubbles, to directly deliver IL-12 mRNA to the lungs of mice.
The Chung Lab at USC has developed a nanoparticle that attaches to immune cells, allowing it to target lymph nodes—a vital indicator of cancer metastasis—and enhance MRI detection, potentially revolutionizing cancer screenings by improving early detection of metastasis without invasive biopsies.
Researchers show that their novel nanogel can deliver anti-inflammatory drugs to glial cells that are actively involved in the development of spinal cord injury, a condition that can result in paraplegia or quadriplegia.
Phase two clinical trials at UT Southwestern Medical Center revealed that a suspension of gold nanocrystals taken daily by patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) significantly reversed deficits in metabolites linked to energy activity in the brain, resulting in functional improvements.
Researchers from the University of Waterloo have developed a new hydrogel made from cellulose nanocrystals derived from wood pulp, which mimics human tissue properties and could be used to heal damaged heart tissue and improve cancer treatments through personalized therapies using tumor organoids.
Disrupting the acidic “microenvironment” of a tumor without causing injury to normal tissue is a novel method of tumor elimination discovered by a diverse research team at Vanderbilt University and Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
A multidisciplinary group of researchers at Cornell University has discovered a novel method for using the antibacterial and antioxidant characteristics of botanical compound lawsone to create cotton bandages coated with nanofibers that prevent infection and promote faster wound healing.
