Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent types of cancer and has a high mortality rate globally. Oral administration of anticancer drugs that pass through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract into the colorectum is ...
Luminescent gold nanoparticles (L-AuNPs) represent a novel class of luminescent nanomaterials that have attracted considerable attention in recent years. They possess a range of exceptional physicochemical properties and ...
Melanoma is a fast-progressing skin cancer characterized by a high mortality rate after metastasis. Local chemotherapy could be considered a therapeutic approach only in stage 0 of progression (in situ melanoma) and in the ...
A nanotechnology-based drug delivery system developed at UVA Health to save patients from repeated surgeries has proved to have unexpectedly long-lasting benefits in lab tests—a promising sign for its potential to help ...
A team of scientists has developed a groundbreaking approach using specially designed peptides to improve drug formulations. This innovative method significantly enhances anti-tumor efficacy, as demonstrated in leukemia models. ...
Ever since the gene responsible for cystic fibrosis was discovered 25 years ago, scientists have envisaged gene therapies to correct the underlying genetic defect.
Carbon particles are present in many aspects of our daily lives. Soot, which consists of tiny carbon particles, is generated when energy sources such as oil or wood are not completely burned. Soot particle filters, in turn, ...
DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly as they sound: tiny artificial motors that use the structures of DNA and RNA to propel motion through enzymatic RNA degradation. Essentially, chemical energy is converted into mechanical ...
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, primarily characterized by motor dysfunction. Its pathological hallmark is the abnormal aggregation of α-synuclein (α-syn) into insoluble fibrils ...
Yang Zhang, Ph.D., and Jinjun Shi, Ph.D., both of the Center for Nanomedicine and Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital, are co-senior authors of a paper published in ...
