To enable early diagnosis of acute illnesses and effective management of chronic conditions, point-of-care testing (POCT) technology—diagnostics conducted near the patient—is drawing global attention. The key to POCT ...
Recently, a research team successfully developed a series of CoNi-metal-organic framework (MOF) nanozymes with laccase-like activity using a gas-liquid interface dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) low-temperature plasma (LTP) ...
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have developed an artificial metal-based nanozyme that can potentially be used to clamp down on abnormal blood clotting caused by conditions like pulmonary thromboembolism ...
Special care must be taken with illnesses during pregnancy, as not all drugs are safe for mother and child. This is why an international research team involving Empa is now developing nanomedicines that will enable safe and ...
A research team led by Prof. Wang Hui from the Hefei Institutes of Â鶹ÒùÔºical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), in collaboration with researchers led by Prof. Qian Junchao from HFIPS and Prof. Qu Songnan ...
Nanozymes are synthetic materials that have enzyme-like catalytic properties, and they are broadly used for biomedical purposes, such as disease diagnostics. However, inorganic nanozymes are generally toxic, expensive, and ...
Apical periodontitis, a chronic and hard-to-treat dental infection, affects more than half of the population worldwide and is the leading cause of tooth loss. Root canal is the standard treatment, but existing approaches ...
A collaborative study published on January 21 in Nature Communications presents a novel strategy to improve the effectiveness of radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).
In a new study, Professor Hui Wei and coworkers have introduced a predictive descriptor—t2 occupancy—to guide the design of spinel oxide-based nanozymes with enhanced peroxidase-like (POD) activity.
Researchers at the University of Kentucky are exploring new ways to use nanoparticles in combination with other materials as an innovative approach to cancer therapy.
