Scientists at Northwestern Medicine and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have identified natural "Superpower" nano-bubbles containing the ACE2 protein (evACE2) in the blood of COVID-19 patients and...

Scientists advance the study of fragile digestive organelles by developing strategy to rapidly extract them from cells using magnetic nanoparticles to preserving the goods. Lysosomes are organelles that play essential...

Some man-made living materials can combine the power of conventional building materials with the response of living systems. Think of self-healing concrete, a color that changes color when a particular...

But drugs can sometimes leak out of liposomes before they reach their destination, reducing the dose received by the tumor and causing side effects in healthy tissues. Now, researchers report...

A unique nanoparticle to deliver a localized cancer treatment (Custom nanoparticle regresses tumors when exposed to light) inhibits tumor growth in mice, according to a team of Penn State researchers....

If different types of vegetables and fruits are stored together, they influence each others ripening process. This is due to ethylene, which is emitted by some plant-based foodstuff and accelerates...

For many COVID-19 patients battling for their lives in the ICU, a runaway immune system response -- known as a "cytokine storm" -- is their primary foe. Doctors have few...

(Using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry to identify fat (white) in the body, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis found excessive fat in a mouse that had consumed...

Researchers from Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) have invented a nanostructure that can stimulate neural stem cells to differentiate into nerve cells. They found that the transplantation of these nerve...
