Credit: Matsuhiko Nishizawa A pain-free, organic and biodegradable drug delivery patch may be on the horizon for home health care patients soon. Researchers from Tohoku University have developed a biobattery-powered device capable of both delivering large molecule pharmaceuticals...
DECEMBER 10TH, 2020 When fighting cancerous tumors, all too often the very drugs that can destroy a lesion tend to have significant negative effects on the rest of the body. Doses have to be maintained at moderate levels to avoid side-effects that are even worse than the disease. In light of this, researchers have been trying to...
by E.j. Mundell, Healthday Reporter For many COVID-19 patients battling for their lives in the ICU, a runaway immune system response—known as a “cytokine storm”—is their primary foe. Doctors have few tools to help tame this hyperinflammatory condition, but early research is suggesting that nanotechnology might safely deliver drugs to affected tissues, quieting the storm....
Using a substrain of E. coli MG 1655 and nanoscale red blood cell membranes, researchers created tiny biohybrid swimmers that could personalize drug delivery to treat tumors AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF PHYSICS WASHINGTON, April 7, 2020 — Tiny biohybrid robots on the micrometer scale can swim through the body and deliver drugs to tumors or provide...
