They might have the ability to respond intelligently to the environment for smart drug delivery systems that would detect the presence of antigens, for example, and react by contracting to release the appropriate drug
Different sized protein structures can be distinguished using electron microscopy, making them high-resolution analogues of the fluorescent reporter proteins used in optical microscopy
Findings could prove to be a breakthrough in not only treating tumors, but ensuring cancer doesn’t return years later
Laser-stimulated gold nanoparticles show potential to diagnose and treat disease with high precision
Modifying starch creates a biocompatible, biodegradable and inexpensive material that stops bleeding
Titanium dioxide nanoparticles stimulated by microwaves can be used to selectively kill cancer cells
Magnetically controlled microrobots offer targeted delivery and transplantation of stem cells
Understanding the interaction between biomolecules forming around gold nanoparticles and tumours could enable more efficient drug delivery
Team developed a microrobot that can precisely transplant stem cells in various in vivo and vitro environments
