These microadditives enhance color, flavor and freshness. But what do they do in the body? It seemed like a small thing when Paul Westerhoff’s 8-year-old son appeared, with his tongue and lips coated ...

The surface of a Qβ virus-like particle is shown with a single coat protein isolated for clarity. The green and red highlights mark the two ends of the coat protein and the location where the heparin ...

This means that siRNA demonstrates significant potential for therapeutic use, given its capacity to control protein levels. However, one of the main drawbacks with siRNA is that researchers have had ...

Nanoparticles, extremely tiny particles measured in billionths of a meter, are increasingly everywhere, and especially in biomedical products. Their toxicity has been researched in general terms, but ...

Bengaluru: Scientists at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have developed a new approach to potentially detect and kill cancer cells, especially those which form a solid tumour mass. They have ...

Fluorescing nanoparticles are helpful tools for biological imaging, allowing researchers to spot hard-to-see phenomena through a microscope by lighting up when hit with laser light at the correct ...

Plasmonic metal nanostructures (e.g., Au, Cu, Pt, Ru) have attracted considerable attention in photothermal catalysis due to their unique capabilities in light-field regulation and energy conversion.

Researchers in the University at Buffalo's Institute for Lasers, Photonics and Biophotonics have announced that they are turning their expertise in nanomedicine to the development of ...
