nanomedicines

Led by Stefan Wilhelm, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Stephenson School of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Oklahoma, a team of researchers from the Gallogly College of Engineering at OU, OU Health Sciences Center and Yale…

Tiny structures called nanoparticles can be used to carry substances to certain parts of the body -- for example, to deliver a chemotherapy drug to a tumor. Although such "nanomedicine" offered hope for improving cancer therapeutics, the…

Nanomedicines -- typically drugs hidden within nanoscopic fatty membranes ('liposomes') -- have potential to transform chemotherapy treatments, improving drug delivery and reducing toxic side effects for thousands of cancer patients every…

Researchers at Penn Medicine have discovered a new, more effective method of preventing the body's own proteins from treating nanomedicines like foreign invaders, by covering the nanoparticles with a coating to suppress the immune response…

The EVONANO platform allows scientists to grow virtual tumours and use artificial intelligence to automatically optimise the design of nanoparticles to treat them. The ability to grow and treat virtual tumours is an important step towards…
