By tagging nanoparticles with unique DNA "barcodes", the team was able to track and compare dozens of designs simultaneously ...

Cancer cells frequently develop the ability to expel anticancer drugs before they can work -- a phenomenon called multidrug ...

Cancer cells frequently develop the ability to expel anticancer drugs before they can work—a phenomenon called multidrug resistance (MDR)—which is one of the leading reasons why chemotherapy fails in ...

A new study details the development of a nanoparticle-based system that delivers concentrated chemotherapy specifically to cancer cells and not normal cells, potentially allowing clinicians to ...

A two-step nanoparticle system first blocks cancer cells' drug-expulsion mechanism, then releases chemotherapy combined with laser-driven heat to destroy resistant tumors.

Harnessing nanoparticles to deliver drugs precisely to a surgically repaired tendon is a promising new approach that reduced scar tissue formation and improved mechanical function. Harnessing ...

Nanoparticle technology presents key market opportunities in drug delivery, diagnostics, and therapeutic innovations, enhancing drug efficacy and minimizing side effects. Emerging applications in ...

Scientists at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU) and at Nanjing University have combined a widely used medical polymer with a natural blood protein to develop a new nanoparticle drug delivery ...

In the home, the lab and the factory, electric fields control technologies such as Kindle displays, medical diagnostic tests and devices that purify cancer drugs. In an electric field, anything with ...

Researchers headed by teams at the Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY Graduate Center (CUNY ASRC) and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center have developed what they describe as a ...
