Tiny robots built from biomolecules and nanoparticles have long promised a more precise way to deliver drugs, run chemical ...

Small interfering RNAs—or siRNAs—hold promise to treat tumors, through their ability to specifically knock down oncogenes that promote tumor growth without the toxicity that accompanies chemotherapy.

Within an international collaboration of 30 scientists, TU/e professors Jan van Hest and Willem Mulder are working on nanotechnological research to accurately stimulate the immune system. The TU/e ...

Artificial cells created in the laboratory offer a wide range of potential applications. Until now, however, their ...

Polymer vesicles, commonly termed polymersomes, are self-assembled, hollow nanostructures formed from amphiphilic block copolymers. They mimic the compartmentalised architecture of biological ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Scientists at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) have engineered polymer-based nanoparticles that form with a simple temperature shift. The team reports ...

Researchers designed nanoparticles that can self-assemble at room temperature and deliver RNA (green) to living cells (nuclei shown in blue), offering a new pathway to vaccine and biologic drug design ...
