Nanomedicine has made remarkable strides since the 1950s, revolutionizing the way drugs are delivered within the body. A recent breakthrough by scientists at ETH Zürich leverages sound waves to control microscopic flower-like zinc oxide particles for targeted drug delivery, marking a significant
In a significant effort to find alternative treatments for head and neck cancer patients who cannot use cisplatin due to its harmful side effects, researchers conducted a new clinical trial that unfortunately provided discouraging results. Cisplatin is a widely used chemotherapy drug known for its
Cancer therapy has always been a challenging field, with the need to balance efficacy and minimize side effects. Traditional treatments often lack precision, leading to systemic toxicity and reduced patient quality of life. In recent years, the development of drug-based nanostructures has emerged
The creation and development of high-performance artificial neurons have marked a significant milestone in the field of advanced perception systems. This breakthrough, achieved through collaboration between Northwestern University and Georgia Tech, has led to the development of a novel
The U.S. Department of Defense has awarded a substantial grant of $11.9 million to the Oregon State University (OSU) College of Pharmacy, with the aim of developing advanced drug delivery technologies specifically designed to protect military personnel from various health threats encountered in
The field of synthetic biology has witnessed a groundbreaking development with the advent of "DNA origami," a technique that allows scientists to control the structure and function of biological membranes. This innovation, spearheaded by Professor Laura Na Liu and her team at the
