Scientists have designed targeted nanoparticles to aid the therapeutic delivery of drugs directly to organs. This new technique could increase the number of viable organs available for transplantation.

A recent announcement by the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division proposed that by January, 2022, all marijuana concentrates in vaporized delivery devices must be tested for heavy metal contaminants in the emitted aerosol by an authorized testing facility.

Historically, the mental health industry has been slow in the adoption of technology; however, over the past few years, we have seen a growing need to boost technology’s role in mental health treatment, driven by growing barriers to entry such as shortage of appropriate staff, cost and location. But what kind of treatment will drive us forward?

Technology Networks recently had the pleasure of speaking with Prof. Stephen Schoenberger of La Jolla Institute for Immunology. Schoenberger discusses the concept, promise and challenges of precision immunotherapies and explains how synthetic biology can be used to develop such therapeutics.

Few industries are growing quite as rapidly as the cannabis industry. Cannabis-based beverages emerging as one of the latest trends in an ever-transforming market. However, while they represent a real opportunity, cannabis- and hemp-infused beverages also present unique analytical challenges.

Technology Networks recently had the pleasure of speaking with Dr Francesca Ceroni from Imperial College London, to learn more about synthetic biology approaches and technologies. Ceroni's research team applies synthetic biology principles to mammalian cell engineering for bioprocessing and cell therapy development.

In this article, we look at the technologies which are helping to revolutionize pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Proteomics is the study of the proteome—investigating how different proteins interact with each other and the roles they play within the organism. This comprehensive article reviews the principles of proteomics, technologies adopted to study the proteome, and the applications of this research field.

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) scientists developed the world's first mobile genome sequence analyzer, a new iPhone app called iGenomics.

A new study found that traumatic experiences in early life cause changes in the blood composition – namely metabolites – that are passed on to the next generation. Technology Networks spoke with Professor Isabelle Mansuy, the study leader, to find out more.
