Therapeutic Delivery – News and Features

Researchers aim to improve commercial glucagon stability and prevent hypoglycemia by using micelles: nanoscale, soap-like bubbles that can be customized to assemble or disassemble in different environments and are used for drug delivery.

A study shows that microparticles delivering CCL2 can inhibit bone loss and enhance repair in mice with periodontal disease. This approach shifts focus from bacteria to immune modulation.

Researchers have developed a convoy of miniature robots capable of performing endoscopic surgeries. By combining multiple TrainBots with enhanced anti-slip feet, they successfully maneuvered an electrode through a bile duct obstruction.

Engineers have developed an innovative way to make covalent organic frameworks (COFs), that have the potential to address significant environmental challenges, including energy storage and pollution control.

A study at UT Dallas reveals that X-ray imaging using gold nanoparticles offers superior accuracy in detecting kidney disease compared to traditional blood tests like BUN and creatinine.

Researchers have created DNA origami-based sensors capable of detecting lipid vesicles and delivering molecular cargo using fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET).

Researchers have manipulated a metabolic pathway in E.coli to create a strain that can produce an aromatic polyester.

Scientists have developed a highly promising gene therapy to treat glaucoma – a debilitating eye condition that can lead to complete vision loss.

A pilot study identified that stress, BMI, exercise, and hormonal birth control influence COVID-19 vaccine side effects. Notably, exercise impacts side effects differently between doses.

Researchers develop a patent-pending platform technology that mimics the dual-layer structure of viruses to deliver nucleic acid (NA)-based therapies to targeted cancer cells.
