Researchers create new, stronger way to repair lining of brain and spinal cord
David Mooney | Via The Highland County Press | April 26, 2024Researchers have developed a more durable way to repair the dural membrane (dura) that lines the brain and spinal cord. The strong and highly adhesive hydrogel called Dural Tough Adhesive (DTA) solves key problems that may happen when repairing the dural membrane lining after trauma or surgery. The dural membrane is the outermost of three […]
Smart nanoparticles may be able to deliver drugs to heart after heart attack
Jianjun Guan | Via Washington University in St. Louis | April 25, 2024Guan creates custom nanoparticles to fight inflammation, fibrosis Every 40 seconds, someone in the United States has a heart attack, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and about 300,000 of those do not have surgery afterward to restore blood flow. These patients rely on drugs to reduce inflammation and inhibit scar […]
Circadian rhythms can influence drugs’ effectiveness
Sangeeta Bhatia | Via MIT | April 24, 2024MIT researchers find circadian variations in liver function play an important role in how drugs are broken down in the body. Giving drugs at different times of day could significantly affect how they are metabolized in the liver, according to a new study from MIT. Using tiny, engineered livers derived from cells from human donors, […]
Researchers evaluate lung cancer treatment that can be inhaled
Ke Cheng | Via Healio | April 24, 2024Researchers at Columbia University’s Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center are investigating a lung cancer treatment that can be delivered directly to the lungs. The treatment, which involves the inhalation of interleukin-12 (IL-12) messenger RNA, uses nanobubbles to facilitate local delivery to the lungs with fewer off-target side effects. Results of a preclinical study, published in […]
Engineered Peptides Stimulate Antitumor Immune Responses in Mice
Betty Kim | Via Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News | April 22, 2024Researchers have designed a new method for developing immunotherapy drugs using engineered peptides to elicit a natural immune response inside the body. More specifically, they showed, in antigen presenting cells, that “the hydrophobicity, electrostatic charge, and secondary conformation of helical polypeptides can be optimized to stimulate innate immune pathways via endoplasmic reticulum stress.” In preclinical […]
Novel theranostic tool allows for noninvasive identification and treatment of ovarian cancer
Jason Lewis | Via EurekAlert | April 4, 2024A new radiotheranostic system has the ability to detect and treat ovarian cancer noninvasively, according to new research published in the April issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine. Combining the highly specific huAR9.6 antibody with PET and therapeutic radionuclides, this theranostic platform may provide more personalized treatment to improve health outcomes for ovarian cancer […]
How to grow inorganic functional nanomaterials—quantum dots—in the nucleus of live cells
Dai-Wen Pang | Via EurekAlert | April 3, 2024Recently, National Science Review published the research work on the synthesis of quantum dots (QDs) in the nucleus of live cells by Dr. Hu Yusi, Associate Professor Wang Zhi-Gang, and Professor Pang Dai-Wen from Nankai University. During the study of QDs synthesis in mammalian cells, it was found that the treatment with glutathione (GSH) enhanced […]
