Inspired by brain-invading bacteria, researchers have created nanocapsules that covertly shuttle drugs across the blood–brain barrier.
Results for "bacteria"
Scientists create cyborg bacteria
Incorporating polymer skeletons inside bacteria stops them from replicating and results in cyborg cells that are half living, half artificial.
Leveraging our gut bacteria to treat depression
An extensive database will help scientists better understand the link between our gut microbiota and depression to inform new, tailored therapies.
Bacteria provide heart attack treatment
Implants containing cyanobacteria help produce oxygen within heart tissue to repair damage done after a heart attack.
Antibacterial surface coating makes medical devices safer
A new antibacterial surface treatment could help improve the safety of medical devices by minimizing the risk of infection during their use.
Urea-powered microrobots bust up bacterial films
Hybrid microrobots harvest chemical energy from their environment for self-propulsion while releasing reactive species to kill bacteria.
RNA thermometers to bring down bacteria from the inside
RNA thermometers help regulate bacterial infection and targeting them might be a way toward fighting antibiotic resistance.
Biodegradable microparticles could be used to fight antibiotic-resistant bacteria
Researchers hope that commercially available inhalers could be used to deliver novel treatment to infected lungs.
Could domestication be linked to animals’ gut bacteria?
Researchers look to the guts of chickens’ ancestors to gain insights into domestication.
How can bacteria “robots” improve cancer therapy?
Living machines made from drug-carrying bacteria target tumors to improve the effectiveness and safety of chemotherapies.
