A sponge-like gold nanoparticle platform could deliver faster, more accurate, and less invasive ovarian cancer diagnostics.

Spherical and star-shaped gold nanoparticles (top) and colon cancer cells after approx. five hours of exposure to them (bottom, respectively). The photo in the bottom left corner proves that, despite ...

Cancer is one of humanity’s most formidable health challenges, claiming nearly 10 million lives each year, with global cases projected to rise to Cancer is one of humanity’s most formidable health ...

Researchers have created tiny metal-based particles that push cancer cells over the edge while leaving healthy cells mostly unharmed. The particles work by increasing internal stress in cancer cells ...

Detecting cancer in the earliest stages could dramatically reduce cancer deaths because cancers are usually easier to treat when caught early. To help achieve that goal, MIT and Microsoft researchers ...

A class of ultrasmall fluorescent core-shell silica nanoparticles developed at Cornell is showing an unexpected ability to rally the immune system against melanoma and dramatically improve the ...

According to a study published in Advanced Functional Materials on November 24 th, 2024, a group of researchers led by Assistant Professor Andy Tay from the Department of Biomedical Engineering in the ...

Purdue University researchers are developing and validating patent-pending poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid), or PLGA, nanoparticles modified with adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, to enhance immunotherapy ...

Prem Singh dips what looks suspiciously like a Slurpee straw into a bottle of white powder and taps it onto a lab scale. “We are synthesizing magnetic nanoparticles,” the Oregon State University ...

Triple-negative breast cancer is particularly aggressive and difficult to treat; but recent research may offer a new way to target the often-deadly disease. A team of researchers from the University ...
