New core/shell structure nanoparticles have been reported by a team led by Peking University researchers.
Nanoparticles enable eye drops for macular degeneration treatment
Drugs used to treat blindness-causing disorders could be successfully administered by eye drops rather than unpleasant and expensive eye injections.
New nanoparticles can deliver multiple anti-cancer drugs
Nanoparticles can carry two different anti-cancer drugs and deliver them to separate parts of the cancer cell where they will be most effective.
Nanoparticles that slip through the vaginal mucus barrier to fight cervical cancer
Researchers develop polymer-based mucus-penetrating particles (MPP) loaded with paclitaxel, a frontline chemo drug.
Molecular motor can walk nanoparticles along nanotubes
Researchers have created a new type of molecular motor made of DNA and used it it to transport a nanoparticle along the length of a carbon nanotube.
Boosting the interaction of light and metal nanoparticles
Subwavelength metal nanoparticles with separation on the order of one wavelength can form a plasmonic mode that enhances absorption and scattering of light.
