Vaccination as tumor therapy - with a vaccine made individually from a patient's tissue sample that "glues" the body's own immune system to (Cancer vaccination) cancer cells: the basis for...

Medical microrobots can help doctors better treat and prevent disease. However, most of these devices are made of synthetic materials that trigger immune responses in vivo. Now, for the first...

New nanotechnology that accelerates the transition of stem cells into bone (Bone Formation Comes Down to the Nanowire) could transform regenerative medicine. A nanotechnology platform developed by King Abdullah University...

How are nanoplastics counted in your body? The Leiden researchers published (A new way to detect nanoplastics in the human body) today in Nature Protocols a method that should facilitate...

Current disinfection strategies have major shortcomings, so the World Health Organization does not recommend routine spraying or fogging with biocides or sterilization with UV light in populated areas. One possible...

Sepsis, the body's overreaction to infection, affects more than 1.5 million people and kills at least 270,000 people a year in the United States alone. Antibiotic and fluid therapy are...

Microbubbles help deliver the drug locally to the patient's body by jumping to the target area to increase the permeability of the tumor's blood vessels. By temporarily increasing (Effective tool...

Holographic devices (Biocompatible binary hologram with drug-elution capability) are used to increase security, entertainment, 3D viewing technology and augmented reality, but are not limited to them. Thanks to their high...

Imagine a small car with a nanomagnetic structure that can propel the human body (Individually Characterized biological vehicles) through an external magnetic field. Upon arrival at the destination, the car...

Chemical separation processes are essential for production, but they also consume high levels of energy. Penn Engineers is developing new membranes for energy-efficient membranes based on nanoscale separations, Chemical separation...
