How Engineered Bacteria Can Operate as Drug Delivery Systems
New research from the University of Cincinnati demonstrates how specially engineered bacteria taken orally can operate as a delivery system for antiviral therapies and vaccines.

News
Self-Boosting Vaccines Could Reduce the Need for Multiple Shots
To make it easier for children to receive all of their vaccines, MIT researchers are working to develop microparticles that can release their payload weeks or months after being injected.

News
Non-Invasive Ultrasound Halts Brain Lesion Growth
UVA Health researchers developed a non-invasive focused ultrasound method with microbubbles that stops the growth of cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) in mice. The approach temporarily opens the blood-brain barrier without drugs.

News
New Nanoparticle Could Enhance Precision in Cancer Ultrasound Treatment
Researchers have created a new kind of nanoparticle that could make ultrasound-based cancer treatments more effective and safer, while also helping prevent tumors from coming back.

News
Nanoparticle System Improves Delivery of Antifungal Drug
Engineers at Brown University have designed a nanoscale drug delivery system that enhances the effectiveness of an antifungal drug against Candida species, including drug-resistant strains.

News
“Smelly” Gel Could Boost Coral Reef Restoration
Researchers have developed a nanoparticle-infused gel that slowly releases "smells" that are attractive to coral larvae. Applying the gel to surfaces can increase coral larvae settlement by up to 20 times, aiding coral reef restoration.

News
Mushroom-Derived Material Grows Its Own Strength
Researchers at Empa have developed a flexible, tear-resistant material from the mycelium of an edible mushroom. Grown as a living system, the fungal composite forms films and stabilizes emulsions without chemical processing.
