The unique properties of magnetite nanoparticles, including superparamagnetism and biocompatibility, make them suitable candidates for various medical applications. This study investigates the effects ...

Researchers devised a way to deliver drugs across the brain’s protective barrier using nanoparticles mimicking a fungal ...

For DNA-functionalized nanoparticle assembly, a typical far-from-equilibrium system, the entropy-controlled thermal annealing strategy constitutes a traditional and generally adopted way to escape ...

Prof. Liang Haojun from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) proposed a new method to escape from metastability for self-assembly in a ...

Functionalization is a process of modifying the surface chemistry of nanomaterials by attaching functional groups, molecules, or biomolecules to their surface. This process aims to enhance the ...

In the form of a 'nasal spray', tiny gold particles act as carriers, delivering a treatment directly to the brain: developed by scientists at the Università Cattolica Rome campus/Fondazione ...

Engineers have modified lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) -- the revolutionary technology behind the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines -- to not only cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) but also to target specific ...

A study published in Nature Communications examined the use of calcium carbonate nanoparticles (CNPs) to improve the activation and function of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) in cancer immunotherapy.

A new method using glycan-coated magnetic nanoparticles (gMNPs) is poised to change the way we detect foodborne pathogens like Escherichia coli and Salmonella in complex food matrices such as melons, ...
