Researchers from the Wilmer Eye Institute, Johns Hopkins Medicine Center for Nanomedicine – which designs nanotechnology-based platforms for clinical translation across specialties – developed a strategy for delivering therapeutic messenger RNA (mRNA) to the inner lining of the uterus (endometrium) in mice via modified lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), which are small capsules made of fatty molecules. … Read more
To gain more knowledge about how ultra-processed food affects us, we need new research methods, claim researchers. Now they are looking to better understand our intestinal flora. Wilhelm Glomm is one of the researchers at the Department of Biotechnology and Nanomedicine at SINTEF. He is interested in how the content of ultra-processed food can … Read more
Nanomedicines, especially those based on nanoparticles, are revolutionizing healthcare in terms of both diagnostics and therapeutics. These particles, often containing metals like iron or gold, can serve as contrast agents in medical imaging, act as nutritional supplements, and even function as carriers for drug delivery. Thanks to their unique properties plus careful engineering, nanomedicines can … Read more

Special care must be taken with illnesses during pregnancy, as not all drugs are compatible for mother and child. This is why an international research team involving Empa is now developing nanomedicines that will enable safe and effective treatment of inflammatory processes during pregnancy. Pregnancy complications are often caused or accompanied by inflammation, but the … Read more
Researchers from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus studied a new method to deliver antibiotics, specifically gentamicin, directly into the bladder tissue to better treat UTIs. They did this by creating nanogels combined with a special peptide (a small protein) that helps the drug get inside the cells where the bacteria are hiding. The … Read more
