A novel cancer therapeutic, combining antibody fragments with molecularly engineered nanoparticles, permanently eradicated gastric cancer in treated mice, a multi-institutional team of researchers found. The results of the “hit and run” drug delivery system, published in the March issue of…
In a recent review published in Pharmaceuticals, researchers documented the various polymeric materials that can be used to synthesize micelles, which can then be used for targeted cancer therapy by tailoring the micelles to respond to stimuli. Study: Exploring the…
New research has shown that the blood vessels that feed aggressive brain tumors have receptors that could allow a new type of drug-containing nanoparticle to be used to starve the tumors of the energy they use to grow and spread,…
*Important notice: bioRxiv publishes preliminary scientific reports that are not peer-reviewed and, therefore, should not be regarded as conclusive, guide clinical practice/health-related behavior, or treated as established information. In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers examined…
In a recent study published in Nanomedicine: Nanotechnology, Biology and Medicine, researchers evaluated the biodistribution of cannabidiol (CBD) emulsion and nanoparticles in the central nervous system (CNS). Study: Evaluation of cannabidiol nanoparticles and nanoemulsion biodistribution in the central nervous system…
Researchers at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles have received a nearly $1 million K08 grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH)-; as well as funding from the U.S. Department of Defense-;to support studies into diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), a…
A new antimicrobial suture material that glows in medical imaging could provide a promising alternative for mesh implants and internal stitches. Surgical site infections are one of the most common medical infections, occurring in 2 to 4% of patients post-surgery.…
In a recent review published in Nature Reviews Bioengineering, researchers assessed the changing landscape of lateral flow tests (LFTs), and the development of next-generation LFTs based on lessons learnt from the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. Study:…
Oregon State University College of Pharmacy scientists have demonstrated in animal models the possibility of using lipid nanoparticles and messenger RNA, the technology underpinning COVID-19 vaccines, to treat blindness associated with a rare genetic condition. Researchers developed nanoparticles able to…
There has been an increase in the development of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines in several countries due to the rapid spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The RNA vaccine platform is a next-generation platform that comprises…
