Novel nanoparticle enhances radiation tumor killing

Researchers have designed a nanoparticle that generates radiation-induced oxygen free radicals even in the low-oxygen center of tumors, dramatically increasing the success of radiation therapy.

Nano antioxidant experiment to launch to the International Space Station

Since long-term exposure to microgravity and radiation increases the damage to muscle cells, the Space Station is a perfect scenario in which to study how the cells deteriorate and how to fight this.

Using nanopores to screen for rare but important biomarkers

Researchers have created a system that can detect and quantify small and rare biological molecules that are important for detecting disease early.

Researchers grow cells in 'paper organs'

Researchers use a 3D printer to make paper organs, complete with artificial blood vessels, that they can populate with cells.
