Large-scale, long-term recordings of the activity of individual brain neurons are essential for improving our knowledge of neural circuits, developing new medical device-based treatments, and, eventually, developing brain-computer interfaces that need high-resolution electrophysiological data.
Surprisingly, the modest membranes that encapsulate the cells possess the ability to repel approaching nano-sized molecules.
Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania, led by Michael Mitchell, are now breaking through the blood-brain barrier, a long-standing biological barrier.
The first selective treatment to stop allergic responses has been created by Northwestern University researchers. These reactions can range in severity from watery eyes and itchy hives to breathing difficulties and even death.
A recent study published in Nature Nanotechnology describes how urea-powered nanorobots helped a research team shrink the growth of bladder tumors in mice by 90%.
A metal-free nanozyme based on graphene quantum dots for extremely effective tumor chemodynamic treatment has been developed by a research team headed by Prof. Hui Wang from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria were responsible for nearly 5 million deaths globally in 2019, as detailed in The Lancet. The rise and fall of antibiotics is a topic that is deeply personal to Dr. Ana Santos, who led the EU-funded project REBELLION.
Nanoparticles co-assembled by Fmoc-protected tyrosine and tryptophan were crosslinked by ultraviolet light irradiation in a new study from JAIST researchers in the hopes of offering a new approach to controlled anticancer therapy.
Lung cancer diagnosis could soon be as simple as breathing nanoparticle sensors and then undergoing a urine test to determine whether a tumor is present, thanks to new technology developed at MIT.
The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST)-led research team has created an optical plasmonic tweezer-controlled Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) platform that allows for the on-and-off control of light to probe different amylin species in mixtures at the single-molecule level.
