Engineers at the University of Pennsylvania have developed a new type of lipid nanoparticle (LNP) that could one day serve as ...

Researchers have created nanoparticles that can remove disease-driving proteins while also delivering a chemotherapeutic or ...

T cells are supposed to be relentless. These white blood cells patrol the body, identify threats, and destroy them. But ...

Scientists have built functional cancer-fighting immune cells directly inside living animals, skipping the expensive and time ...

Photothermal therapies utilize photosensitizing agents to convert applied light into heat. This release of energy results in localized damage to targeted cells or other therapeutic effects. Plasmonic ...

Researchers at Tel Aviv University have developed a new platform using polymeric nanoparticles to deliver drug pairs to specific cancer types, including skin cancer and breast cancer. The researchers ...

Scientists from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands have identified receptors and proteins that play a role in cells’ internal buildup of nanoparticles. Many of these receptors and proteins ...

Immune system cells can be engineered outside of the body in a type of therapy called CAR-T. Now, Johns Hopkins scientists are developing ways to sidestep such cell manufacturing with a biodegradable ...

Research on preventing type 1 diabetes often focuses on limiting the autoimmune response that destroys the body's ability to produce its own insulin. A new technology developed by scientists at the ...

Silica nanoparticles may make oral insulin possible by safely enhancing drug absorption through the intestinal wall in obese ...
