Unlike traditional treatments, nanoparticles (NPs) are highly precise in targeting diseased cells at the molecular level, enhancing the effectiveness of treatments for conditions like cancer, diabetes ...

UTIs are among the most common bacterial infections worldwide, but inappropriate use and overuse of antibiotics is driving ...

Nanotechnology in medicine has grown over the last few decades, with clinical trials and ever-evolving medical applications furthering the growth of the nanomedicine field. The most common application ...

When I first realized the scale of the challenge posed by neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), I felt simultaneously humbled ...

A new nano-based drug delivery technology could outwit tuberculosis (TB)—one of humanity's most ancient diseases. At the Wits Advanced Drug Delivery Platform (WADDP), postdoctoral researcher Dr.

In a promising advance for cancer treatment, Northwestern University scientists have re-engineered the molecular structure of a common chemotherapy drug, making it dramatically more soluble and ...

There is currently no cure for HIV, but medications can help people with the disease manage their symptoms. HIV can still develop into AIDS years after infection, however, even with disease management ...

Cancer drugs don’t discriminate. They kill all cells, not just the cancerous ones. So drugmakers often look for ways to minimize how much of a chemotherapy drug ends up in healthy tissue while still ...
