A recent study by researchers from Institute of Science Tokyo unveils the molecular mechanisms explaining why some "stealth" ...

Gene delivery is, arguably, the biggest bottleneck in gene therapy. Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are the historical mainstay, but they are expensive to manufacture and have payload limits and ...

Researchers recently announced that they have engineered a new class of material, called a 'polyzwitterionic complex,' or 'pZC,' which is able to both withstand the harsh acidic conditions of the ...

A team led by engineers has developed a biodegradable polymer system to treat rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune and inflammatory disease, by working in concert with the power of the human immune ...

A research team from POSTECH has developed a biodegradable polymer-based delivery system that efficiently transports mRNA. The study was recently published in Biomaterials. Since the COVID-19 pandemic ...

The US Food and Drug Administration has approved a new system for nerve repair based on light-activated polymers rather than surgical stitches. The flexible polymer system was developed by the medical ...

The voltage response of a conjugated polymer system is not fully understood. Jonathan Rivnay, Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering; Ruiheng Wu, postdoctoral ...

Most polymers don’t mix—and that’s the point. Polymer alloys succeed by engineering the interface: use thermodynamics to ...
