COATING KEEPS KILLING VIRUSES AND BACTERIA FOR MONTHS

As reported in the journal Matter, the coating proved deadly to SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19), E. coli, MRSA, and a variety of other pathogens. It killed 99.9% of microbes even after months of repeated cleaning, abrasion, and other punishment on real-world surfaces like keyboards, cell phone screens, and chicken-slathered cutting boards. The coating...

Protein Coating Protects Nanoparticles from Immune Attack

JANUARY 17TH, 2022   CONN HASTINGS  MEDICINE, NANOMEDICINE Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have created a new coating for nanoparticles that can help to protect them from attacks by the immune system. The approach, which uses naturally occurring proteins that can inhibit the complement system, can significantly reduce immune destruction of nanoparticles, meaning that more...
