The tiny fatty capsules that deliver COVID-19 mRNA vaccines into billions of arms may work better when they're a little disorganized. That's the surprising finding from researchers who developed a new ...

Photothermal therapies utilize photosensitizing agents to convert applied light into heat. This release of energy results in localized damage to targeted cells or other therapeutic effects. Plasmonic ...

Along with biocompatibility, MSNs boast a high surface area and facile surface tunability. The former has led to MSNs being described as "nanosponges", as their high surface area allows particles to ...

When designing a nanoparticle-enabled drug delivery system, many intersecting considerations must be taken into account, such as the target location of the drug payload, the method of delivery, uptake ...

The biodegradable polymer Poly (D,L-lactide-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) is widely regarded as safe for use in medical applications, seeing common use in the creation of particles used in in vivo studies.

Hydration energetics may become a central tool in engineering safer, longer-circulating, and more effective nanoparticle therapies.

Tiny particles bounce light around in a unique way, a property that researchers are using to detect pollutants in water and ...

A peer-reviewed study published in Science has documented frequent new particle formation during a heat wave, a phenomenon ...

A new generation of “theranostic” nanoparticles has been shown to both detect and reduce plaques in the arteries. Nanoparticles absorbed by immune cells in the arteries, where they work to lower ...

In recent years, mRNA in lipid nanoparticles (mRNA–LNPs) has emerged as a promising strategy for treating numerous conditions ...

Hopewell Therapeutics sublicenses its proprietary lipid nanoparticles for novel cancer vaccine to Foxcroft Therapeutics: Woburn, Massachusetts Saturday, March 7, 2026, 17:00 Hrs [ ...
