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 ...

Silver nanoparticles are valued for their antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer effects, but conventional production methods often use hazardous chemicals and require large volumes of energy.

Scientists say they have developed a nanoparticle -- an extremely tiny biodegradable container -- that has the potential to improve the delivery of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA)-based vaccines for ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

In 2021, vaccines for COVID-19 were released, a little over a year after the SARS-CoV-2 virus triggered a global pandemic. Their remarkably short production time wasn’t the result of a rush-job, but a ...
