New Nanomachines with Potential to Impact Real-World Medical Applications

Think of constructing a complex work of architecture such as a castle. Now imagine if when all its individual parts are gathered together, the castle automatically begins to assemble by itself. Stretch that imagination by scaling down the size of this castle to be a size so small that it has to be measured on the same scale as viruses, DNA, and small molecules.

Researchers Produce Novel Drug that is Safer and Efficiently Dissolves Blood Clots

One of the primary health concerns worldwide are the critical conditions caused by the blockage of blood vessels. The main aim for emergency assistance during the onset of such conditions is to efficiently implement thrombolysis - dissolving the clot quickly. ITMO University researchers in collaboration with Mariinsky Hospital in Saint Petersburg have created a magnetically controlled drug that could condense on a blood clot due to the presence of a magnetic field.

Self-Assembling Protein Nano-Cages Could Carry Cargo into Living Cells

In the last century, a 20-sided solid was morphed into geodesic domes. This solid is likely to play a major role in synthetic biology. The geometry of the icosahedron is inspiring a team of researchers from the University of Washington Institute of Protein Design who are involved in inventing vehicles, molecular tools, and devices for medicine and other fields.
