A new form of agricultural pest control could one day take root—one that treats crop infestations deep under the ground in a targeted manner with less pesticide. Engineers at the University of ...

Lipid nanoparticles consist of spherical vesicles made of ionizable lipids with a positive charge at a low pH level, while being neutral at a physiological pH. Such a characteristic enables RNA ...

(Nanowerk News) Technologies based on nanoscale materials – for example, particles that are more than 10,000 times smaller than the period at the end of this sentence – play a growing role in our ...

Pharmaceutical scientists and biologists are teaming up to make the next generation of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for drug delivery. Combining structural biology with cutting edge pharmaceutical ...

Clinical trials in pregnant women are uncommon, and as a result, any available medications these individuals could tke are prescribed off-label for them or not at all. To address this, researchers ...

A synthetic cell that can be activated by a magnetic field to release a medicine while deep in the body has been created by chemists at UCL (University College London) and the University of Oxford.

Recent technological advances are fueling the development of cutting-edge technologies that can monitor and control physiological processes with high precision. These include devices that could ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Researchers have developed a concept to potentially improve delivery of drugs for cancer treatment using nanoparticles that concentrate and expand in the presence of higher ...

Scientists have found a nanoparticle-inspired solution to the age-old strength issue of polymer glasses. Seasoning the polymer glass recipe with single-chain nanoparticles, which are tiny, folded-up ...
