Turning silver nanoparticles into commercial products could create a faster pathway to new antimicrobials and cancer treatments.

Charged nanoparticles can alter the local physical properties of lipid membranes, which could shed new light on the interactions between living cells and nanomaterials. An emerging 'rule of thumb ...

Polystyrene nanoparticles are widely used in packaging, but their effects on organisms are unclear. Very little was known ...

Pancreatic cancer remains one of the most challenging tumors to treat, partly because it is often discovered at advanced ...

Aliphatic polyester-based nanoparticles (NPs) were developed and functionalized to target antigen-presenting cells (APCs). NPs were physicochemically characterized and NP–cell interaction ...

To accomplish this, they analyzed the APC-T cell interactions that occurred during food antigen exposure—in this case, the egg white protein ovalbumin (OVA)—in healthy mice using a technique called ...

In animal experiments, these nanoparticles demonstrated the ability to inhibit leukemia cell growth and significantly improve ...

"Plant cell walls are rigid and wood-like, much tougher than human or animal cells, so we coated the nanoparticle with a protein that gently loosens the plant cell wall. "The protein coating ...

The images before and after quenching of CMS-NPs-Cy3 (see the 'Preparation of fluorescent mesoporous silica nanoparticles' section) were processed by Particle-in-cell-3D using different values for ...
