Puffed-up MOFs for improved drug delivery

The spongelike structure of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) allows these polymers to possibly carry and deliver a range of therapeutic compounds. Now, researchers reporting in ACS Applied Bio Materials treated…

Orchestrating plant organ symmetry in style

Humans are attracted to symmetry: in our buildings, our gardens, in our potential partners. For plants, the symmetrical shapes of organs are a matter of survival because the form directly…

Teaching nature to break man-made chemical bonds

For the first time, scientists have engineered an enzyme that can break stubborn man-made bonds between silicon and carbon that exist in widely used chemicals known as siloxanes, or silicones….

mRNA therapeutic successfully combats ovarian cancer in mice

Ovarian cancer is often very aggressive and responds poorly to the therapies currently available. A recent study by Goethe University Frankfurt and University Hospital Frankfurt offers hope that this could…

Most likely source of HIV rebound infection

In findings that have implications for potential new HIV therapies, researchers from Texas Biomedical Research Institute (Texas Biomed) used genetic sequencing techniques on the nonhuman primate version of the virus…

How the coronavirus defends itself against our immune system

Research team identifies “protective switches” in the protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Over 700 million people were infected and almost seven million died, making SARS-CoV-2 the most devastating pandemic of…
