Nanotechnology Enhances T Cell- Mediated Cancer Immunotherapy

Conventional cancer therapies risk causing damage to healthy tissue while working to destroy cancer cells. Researchers are developing novel therapeutics based on nanotechnology to overcome this limitation, as well as to improve the pharmacokinetics of a pharmaceutical and reduce the related toxicities (Nat Rev Drug Discov 2021; https://doi.org/10.1038/s41573-020-0090-8). Another encouraging area of nanotechnology in oncology is [...]

Researchers use magnetic systems to artificially reproduce the learning and forgetting functions of the brain

With the advent of Big Data, current computational architectures are proving to be insufficient. Difficulties in decreasing transistors' size, large power consumption and limited operating speeds make neuromorphic computing a promising alternative. Neuromorphic computing, a new brain-inspired computation paradigm, reproduces the activity of biological synapses by using artificial neural networks. Such devices work as [...]

Nano-sized plastics may enter and permeate cell membranes

The occurrence of microplastics in nature has been studied extensively, also at the University of Eastern Finland. However, little is known about the health effects of microplastics, and understanding of their transport into the human body is also lacking. Any adverse health effects possibly associated with plastics may be caused by the plastic compound [...]

‘Amazing’ nanoparticles from maize: A potent and economical anti-cancer therapeutic

 Nanoparticles, or particles whose size varies between 1 and 100 nanometers, have shown tremendous potential in many areas of science and technology, including therapeutics. However, conventional, synthetic nanoparticles are complicated and expensive to produce. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), which have emerged as an alternative option to synthetic nanoparticles, show challenges for mass production. Another recently [...]

Engineered antibody helps block SARS-CoV-2 transmission

Researchers at UC Davis Health have engineered a novel antibody, FuG1, that can directly interfere with the cell-to-cell transmission ability of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. FuG1 targets the enzyme furin, which the virus uses for its efficient chain of infections in human cells. The approach could be added to existing SARS-CoV-2 antibody cocktails [...]

New system speeds screening of drug-delivering nanoparticles

James Dahlman and Phil Santangelo are helping to define an evolving era in medicine, one in which messenger ribonucleic acid—mRNA—can be delivered directly to cells to fight against disease. And their latest groundbreaking study could clear the way to faster therapeutic discoveries. Long before the COVID-19 pandemic put a global spotlight on mRNA-based vaccines, [...]
