Tiny particles bounce light around in a unique way, a property that researchers are using to detect pollutants in water and ...

In recent years, mRNA in lipid nanoparticles (mRNA–LNPs) has emerged as a promising strategy for treating numerous conditions ...

A type of nanoparticle called a metal organic framework (MOF) could be used to deliver vaccines and act as an adjuvant. Researchers find these particles provoke a strong immune response by activating ...

Researchers at UChicago have developed a nanoparticle system that can effectively deliver mRNA to insulin-producing cells, protecting them from the body’s autoimmune response ...

A crucial element in both the synthesis and functionality of nanoparticles involves the attachment of ligands. 6 The appropriate choice of ligands can enhance the solubility of nanoparticles or affect ...

Colloidal nanoparticles are particles that operate at the nanoscale, specifically between 1 to 1000 nanometers, suspended in a fluid. These nanoparticles can consist of various materials, such as ...

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 ...

A near-infrared light beam appears harmless, as it is a low-frequency type of light that does not have a dramatic effect but ...

When designing a nanoparticle-enabled drug delivery system, many intersecting considerations must be taken into account, such as the target location of the drug payload, the method of delivery, uptake ...
