JULY 19, 2024 by Johnny Moseman, Johns Hopkins University Discovery and development of BM-homing LNPs. a, Schematic of LNP preparation including covalent lipid species (covalent lipids and crosslinkers). b, Addition of a covalent lipid or crosslinker to the base-4-lipid LNP formulation leads to BM mRNA delivery and genome editing in a great breadth of unique...
JULY 1, 2024 by Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN) A new nanodevice designed by AIBN researchers analyses sugars on the surface of cellular messenger particles to catch early signs of lung cancer. Credit: AIBN/UQFor such a common disease, lung cancer can be hard to spot. In the early stages you probably won’t even...
A new bioabsorbable wound dressing builds on the proven blood-flow-stanching properties of chitosan. The new work harnesses the combined power of organic nanomaterials-based chemistry and chitosan, a natural product found in crustacean exoskeletons, to help bring emergency medicine one step closer to a viable solution for mitigating blood loss. Hemorrhage is a leading cause of...
