CRISPR therapies depend on delivery and lipid nanoparticles are emerging as a more flexible and scalable option than viral vectors.
Researchers have developed bioactive nanoparticles that restore the brain’s blood-brain barrier and clear toxic proteins, reversing Alzheimer’s symptoms in mice and offering a promising new approach to treating the disease.
Scientists have supercharged vinegar’s antibacterial properties by adding carbon and cobalt nanoparticles – creating a powerful, non-toxic treatment that could help combat drug-resistant infections and speed up wound healing.
A new oral immunotherapy could change how peanut allergy is treated, targeting the gut to retrain the immune system and reduce the risk of life-threatening reactions. INP20’s nanoparticle technology promises a safer, more precise approach that could replace lifelong avoidance with lasting tolerance.
King’s College London and Medicines Discovery Catapult have secured £400,000 from The Brain Tumour Charity to fast-track a new drug delivery approach for glioblastoma, the most aggressive brain cancer. The project will support preclinical studies to move potential treatments closer to patients.
Northwestern University researchers have created DNA-coated nanoparticles that deliver CRISPR into cells three times more effectively while reducing toxicity. The advance could overcome one of the biggest barriers to gene-editing therapies.
Researchers at UC San Diego have discovered a graphene-based technology that accelerates the maturation of human brain organoids, offering a safer, non-invasive way to model diseases like Alzheimer’s.
University of Chicago researchers have developed a scalable nanoparticle platform that self-assembles with just a temperature change – enabling safe, solvent-free delivery of proteins and RNA for vaccines and therapies.
Japanese researchers have engineered a new lipid nanoparticle that delivers mRNA to cells five times more effectively, resulting in stronger immune responses and tumour suppression in mice.
Researchers in China have developed a next-generation CAR-T cell therapy armed with nanogels that can penetrate the dense barriers of solid tumours. This addresses a major limitation in the treatment of solid cancers with immunotherapy.
Researchers at Southern Medical University have developed a self-propelled ferroptosis nanoinducer that penetrates deeper into tumour tissues - offering a new strategy for safer and more effective cancer treatment.
A new cancer therapy combines multiple treatment strategies into a single graphene oxide-based nanocomposite. It uses bacterial components to enhance immune response and scalability, creating a powerful and cost-effective approach to tackling tumours.
What if vaccines could train your immune system to eliminate infections at the source? Find out how Gylden Pharma’s gold nanoparticle platform delivers targeted T cell immunity - providing a precise and durable defence against complex infectious diseases.
Pancreatic cancer is notoriously hard to treat, especially when it spreads to the liver in advanced stages. Researchers at UCLA’s California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI) have developed an innovative nanoparticle technology to tackle this challenge.
