Researchers create new strategy for highly-selective chemotherapy delivery
Researchers at UC Irvine has created a new approach that greatly improves the targeting of chemotherapeutic drugs in specific cells and organs. Kenneth Longmuir, associate professor of physiology and biophysics, and Richard Robertson, professor of Anatomy and Neurobiology, using liposomes, small areas (less than 100 nanometers in diameter) of natural molecules of lipids, such as […]
Mount Sinai leads unprecedented attempt to discover rules for assembling human tissue
Researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine and two other academic institutions have received federal funding for systematic functional kidney tissue from human tissue modeling into a computer. If successful, the research that integrates several emerging technologies, including virtual modeling and nanofabrication tissues, could lead to a more predictable way for researchers to engineer tissue […]
Distinct set of white blood cells found to set the pace of wound repair
After more than 50 experiments on mice, scientists at Johns Hopkins doctors have traced the basic measures taken by a particular set of white blood cells in determining the pace of recovery from severe lung injury. White blood cells called regulatory T cells or regulatory T cells for short, and his best-known function is to […]
