Magnetic Nanoparticles: A Novel Solution for Removing Dangerous Microplastics from Water

Nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems (DDS) containing peptides offer an innovative approach to effectively treat schizophrenia. Such DDSs hold significant potential to revolutionize therapeutic strategies against diseases that affect the central nervous system.

Nanoparticle Breakthrough Could Aid Schizophrenia Treatment

Jiantao Guo (left), professor of chemistry, and Janos Zempleni, Willa Cather Professor of molecular nutrition, were selected as Phase 1 winners in the National Institutes of Health's Targeted Genome Editor Delivery Challenge.

Milk-based nanoparticles sidestep problem that plagues other gene editing tools

In the brain's immune cells, called microglia, the gene product PU.1 is associated with excessive inflammation in neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. MIT researchers delivered a small interfering RNA (siRNA) via lipid nanoparticles to reduce expression of PU.1 in mice. Microglia stained for PU.1 or related markers are less evident in the bottom row, which reflects the effects of the siRNA, compared to an experimental control (top row).

Nanoparticles Target Brain Cells to Quell Alzheimer’s Inflammation

Stanford engineers have developed an injectable hydrogel depot technology that enables GLP-1 drugs to be administered once every four months, compared to repeated daily injections.

Scientists Break Through Stem Cell Barrier with New Delivery Method

University of Minnesota Twin Cities researchers have developed a groundbreaking new diagnostic technique that will allow for faster and more accurate detection of neurodegenerative diseases that affect humans, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, and similar diseases that affect animals, such as chronic wasting disease (CWD) and mad cow disease.

Faster, More Accurate Tests for Neurodegenerative Diseases in Nano-QuIC

The UCLA-developed nanoparticle has sugars on its surface that target specific cells in the liver (dark blue and pink shapes) and an mRNA payload that encodes for a specific protein fragment (red).
