Scientists at Northwestern, and Case Western Reserve universities have developed the first polymer-based therapeutic for the genetic disorder Huntington’s disease, an incurable neurodegenerative ...

HYDRACs are a class of proteomimetic polymers designed to mark harmful proteins, like MYC and KRAS, for destruction rather than merely block their activity.

When cancer-driving proteins resist various treatments, Northwestern University scientists have uncovered a new solution. Don ...

Harvard scientists' protein-based scaffold grown on a polymer substrate could be used to grow organ tissue and treat wounds. Researchers in the School of Engineering and Applied Science at Harvard ...

Researchers combined milk protein, starch, and volcanic clay to create a biodegradable packaging film that degrades in 13 ...

Researchers have developed a new therapy that can be injected intravenously right after a heart attack to promote healing and prevent heart failure. The therapy both prompts the immune system to ...

Scientists at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU) and Nanjing University in China have developed a new drug delivery system that could improve how treatments for cancers and other diseases are ...

Capillary-channeled polymer (C-CP) fibers have emerged as a versatile and efficient stationary phase for protein separation, capitalising on their unique structural design to facilitate ...

We now generate huge amounts of plastic waste, especially in the packaging industry and agriculture. Oil-based polymers are becoming more and more expensive, due to rising oil prices that are due in ...

In the latest stride toward combating neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), a team led by Professor Nathan Gianneschi from the International Institute for Nanotechnology at Northwestern ...

Side by side comparison of heart muscle cells with and without treatment. Damage to the cells is shown in blue. On the left, tissue has been injected with saline and the damaged area is considerably ...
