Extracellular vesicles captured by sustainable wood cellulose-based nanofiber may identify and improve cancer treatment
A research team in Japan, led by Nagoya University's Akira Yokoi, has developed an innovative technique using cellulose nanofiber (CNF) sheets derived from wood cellulose to capture extracellular vesicles (EVs) from fluid samples and even organs duri.....»»
Agronomists find green way to mitigate the effects of soil salinity
Most crops are sensitive to soil salinity. Excess salts cause salt stress—plants lack water, photosynthesis is suppressed, respiration worsens, chlorophyll breaks down, and potassium ions leak. Water-soluble toxic salts stimulate the synthesis of r.....»»
New nanoparticles found to be effective for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis
A team of scientists has developed a new solution for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The work has been published in Nature Nanotechnology......»»
Investigating the effects of surface treatment on the antibacterial activity of wood
Research indicates that several pathogenic bacteria can remain contagious on a range of surfaces from hours to days and weeks. While wood as a surface material is known for its antibacterial properties, dry contamination via hands has so far been poo.....»»
Unlocking pathways to break down problem proteins presents new treatment opportunities
When targeting problem proteins involved in causing or spreading disease, a drug will often clog up a protein's active site so it can't function and wreak havoc. New strategies for dealing with these proteins can send these proteins to different type.....»»
Apple may use Vision Pro for mental health diagnosis and treatment
A new report claims that internally, Apple is discussing how Apple Vision Pro could detect signs of mental health issues, and perhaps also help treat them.Apple Vision ProApple has already been said to have more plans for Vision Pro use cases than it.....»»
New 3D-printed tumor model enables faster, less expensive and less painful cancer treatment
An international team of interdisciplinary researchers has successfully created a method for better 3D modeling of complex cancers. The University of Waterloo-based team combined cutting-edge bioprinting techniques with synthetic structures or microf.....»»
Enzyodynamic therapy at nanoscale
Enzyodynamic therapy (EDT) is a new type of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-related dynamic therapeutic modality, which adequately utilizes the enzyme-triggered catalytic reactions in living organisms and achieves disease treatment through controlling.....»»
New "subway map" of Lyme disease pathways identifies potential new treatment targets
Scientists at Tufts University School of Medicine have developed a genome-scale metabolic model or "subway map" of key metabolic activities of the bacterium that causes Lyme disease. Using this map, they have successfully identified two compounds tha.....»»
Protein-like polymers illuminate the path to macular degeneration treatment
