Researchers have developed an artificial receptor that can bind sucrose in water with exquisite precision. The achievement represents a leap forward for the development of biosensors, and provides new ...

In a recent study, researchers developed a nanocapsule gene therapy that can edit an Alzheimer’s-associated gene in mice, potentially offering a novel treatment for neurological disorders. One of the ...

The coating on the capsule is dissolved as it reacts with the clotting material thrombin released at site of blood clots. The drug inside is then released. University of Melbourne A nanocapsule that ...

Self-assembling molecules that spontaneously organize themselves to form complex structures are common in nature. For example, the tough outer layer of insects, called the cuticle, is rich in proteins ...

A nanocapsule is any nanoparticle having a shell and space where desired substances can be encapsulated. Technologies used for microencapsulation of materials have existed for many years. Predominant ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers from University of Jyväskylä and Aalto University in Finland have developed a customized DNA nanostructure that can perform a predefined task in human body-like conditions ...

Reversible nanoencapsulation technology may make it possible to deliver high molecular weight drugs directly to target cancer cells, increasing efficacy and reducing side effects. Despite numerous ...

Scientists around the world are pursuing the goal of developing synthetic receptors capable of recognizing biologically important molecules. Although many attempts have been made to mimic the way that ...
