Researchers use biocompatible polydopamine nanoparticles and near-infrared light to remotely trigger activity in neuron and muscle cells with minimal side effects.
Scientists have developed oral nanorobots that target damaged heart tissue, deliver energy, and repair mitochondrial function, offering a novel approach to treating ischemic heart disease.
Using their novel Freeform Reversible Embedding of Suspended Hydrogels (FRESH) 3D bioprinting technique, which allows for the printing of soft living cells and tissues, researchers built a first-of-its-kind microphysiologic system, or tissue model, entirely out of collagen.
Scientists have developed a new drug delivery system using ultrasound-activated nanoparticles to break through and destroy bacterial biofilms. This offers a promising solution that could address the global crisis of chronic antibiotic-resistant infections.
Light-activated copper microrobots use single-atom catalysis and peroxide to penetrate biofilms, generate reactive oxygen species, and eliminate MRSA infections.
Scientists identified a promising new approach that may one day help to restore vision in people affected by macular degeneration and other retinal disorders.
Researchers are developing a new hydrogel-based material that makes it possible to engineer artificial skin tissues, which can serve as living three-dimensional models of human skin for better understanding and treating skin diseases.
A new family of enzymes enables precise cuts in single-stranded DNA, offering powerful new tools for genetic engineering and expanding possibilities in biotechnology.
A recent research study has successfully merged two cutting-edge 3D tissue engineering strategies - 3D polymeric scaffolds and 3D neuronal spheroids - to create a highly advanced model for studying neuronal behaviour and disease.
Researchers developed graphene oxide nanoparticles that combine chemotherapy, immune activation, and photothermal heating to effectively destroy tumors.
Engineered bacteria secrete powerful nanoparticles to aid in drug delivery, vaccines and treating medical conditions, such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
