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.

New Nanoparticle Based Treatment Platform Developed to Treat Deadly Thyroid Cancer

Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is a highly life threatening form of thyroid cancer with a mortality rate of nearly 100% and an average survival time of three to five months. One promising approach to treat this type of cancer and others is RNA interference (RNAi) nanotechnology. However delivery of RNAi agents to the precise area of the tumor has been a struggle.
