Researchers at NYU Tandon School of Engineering have developed a new method for creating microscopic drug delivery capsules that addresses a fundamental challenge in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Researchers at the University of Oxford and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have uncovered the mechanism by which cells identify and repair a highly toxic form of DNA damage that causes cancer, ...
While radiation treatments designed to kill cancer cells have come a long way, scientists and doctors are always exploring new ways to zap tumors more effectively. Recent tests at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven ...
When the COVID-19 pandemic swept across the world in 2020, the mRNA vaccines came to the rescue of many people—but in the background there was another, lesser known, hero: the lipid nanoparticle. Without these tiny "fat droplets," ...
The ability to analyze gene expression at the single-cell level—known as single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq)—has transformed life sciences, driving discoveries across immunology, oncology, and developmental biology. Over ...
Each time a cell divides, a small section of each chromosome's protective cap—the telomere—is worn away. Most cells use an enzyme called telomerase to help mitigate this loss, but 10% to 15% of cancers have another mechanism ...
A new study details the development of a nanoparticle-based system that delivers concentrated chemotherapy specifically to cancer cells and not normal cells, potentially allowing clinicians to administer higher, more effective ...
Imagine a stadium packed with 75,000 fans, all wearing green and white jerseys—except one person in a solid green shirt. Finding that person would be tough. That's how hard it is for scientists to find disease markers—called ...
When you think of dinosaurs, you might imagine towering predators or gentle giants roaming prehistoric landscapes. But what if these ancient creatures could teach us about one of humanity's most persistent challenges: cancer?
A patch containing tens of millions of microscopic nanoneedles could soon replace traditional biopsies, scientists have found. The patch offers a painless and less invasive alternative for millions of patients worldwide who ...
