Nanoscience and Drug Delivery – Small Particles for Big Problems

Researchers have built a robot made up of individual ‘particles’ that moves with no centralized control. The bots rely on the same kind of statistical mechanics that allows groups of cells to move, creating some intriguing possibilities.

Antibody-drug conjugates or ADCs represent an innovative therapeutic application that combines the unique properties of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) with the potent cell killing activity of cytotoxic small molecule drugs.

Apoptosis is an important cellular process that allows cells to die in a programmed fashion, essential for embryo development, homeostasis, and cancer development. This 3D animation provides an overview of the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways involved and demonstrates how activation of the caspase cascade occurs.
