Engineered photosynthetic algae could be used within sunlight-powered sustainable chemical biofactories using a new circular ...

Engineers have developed microparticles made of a biocompatible polymer that can deliver a payload at different time points and could be used to create 'self-boosting' vaccines.

In this interview, we speak to Morteza Sarmadi from MIT about his labs latest research that developed microparticles able to deliver self-boosting vaccines for viruses such as COVID-19, and how ...

Extended-release drugs rely on microparticles of consistent size and shape so they dissolve at a predictable rate. Engineers have now developed a microfluidic system where more than ten thousand ...

The microparticles used are formed from polylactic glycolic acid and polyethylene glycol, and they slowly degrade over a period of 12 weeks, releasing the neuregulin in a slow and controlled manner.

The microparticles produced in the three-dimensional culture have a lower content of cytospin-A, a protein that supports the structure of cells. By modifying traditional two-dimensional cell cultures ...

Microparticles feel the pinch 23 Oct 2006 A new method for measuring the refractive index of micrometre-sized particles has been developed at Australia's University of Queensland. The technique ...

The strategy, tested in a mouse model of MS, harnesses biodegradeable microparticles (MPs) loaded with the immunosuppressant drug rapamycin, and functionalized with immune-modulating molecules, to ...

Microparticles feel the pinch 10 Nov 2006 Optical tweezers help to measure the refractive index of micrometre-sized particles. A new method for measuring the refractive index of micrometre-sized ...

In 10-day studies with paraoxon and malathion, 38% of bees that ate the microparticles survived. Bees that didn’t eat the microparticles died after 5 days of exposure to paraoxon or malathion.
