Biomimetic nanocomposite hydrogel promotes tendon healing and tissue regeneration

The new system, termed KGN@PB@CM, combines several advanced elements. Prussian blue (PB) nanozymes act as potent reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavengers, while kartogenin (KGN)-a small molecule that promotes stem cell migration and tenogenic differentiation-is loaded onto the PB core.

Innovative glucose-responsive platform targets diabetes care and food waste reduction

Kingston University London is celebrating a major milestone towards commercialization of its innovative diabetes and food management platform after a research team in the Department of Pharmacy was recommended by Innovate UK to work towards setting up a spin-out company.

Researchers develop pH and redox-sensitive systems to reduce immunotherapy toxicity

Although cancer immunotherapy has transformed treatment by harnessing the immune system to eliminate tumors, only a small subset of patients benefit. Many solid tumors remain "cold," characterized by poor immune cell infiltration and resistance to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB).

New mRNA adjuvant dramatically boosts T-cell vaccine responses in mice

MIT engineers have developed a new way to amplify the T-cell response to mRNA vaccines - an advance that could lead to much more powerful cancer vaccines and stronger protection against infectious diseases.

Researchers find new way to deliver drugs directly into cancer cells

National University of Singapore Researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a high-throughput method to identify gold nanoparticles capable of delivering therapies directly to mitochondria (the energy centres inside cancer cells).

Copper-based nanoplatform shows promise against metastatic tumor growth

What happens if cancer cells lose both their mitochondrial energy supply and their glycolytic backup system? This question is central to a new study published in Research by researchers from Northwestern Polytechnical University and collaborating institutions.

New nanoparticles disable drug resistance to achieve complete tumor elimination

Cancer cells frequently develop the ability to expel anticancer drugs before they can work -- a phenomenon called multidrug resistance (MDR) -- which is one of the leading reasons why chemotherapy fails in patients.

Study links microplastics in arterial plaque to fourfold increase in stroke risk

In a Perspective published today in the inaugural issue of Brain Health (https://doi.org/10.61373/bh026p.0006), an international team of investigators argues that the human microplastic burden has crossed the threshold from environmental concern to brain health emergency. The article appears alongside the launch of Brain Health, a new peer-reviewed journal from Genomic Press dedicated to the science of lifelong brain resilience.

Scientists redesign CAR-T cells to fight more than cancer

This review examines how CAR-T cell therapy is expanding beyond blood cancers into solid tumors, autoimmune diseases, chronic viral infections, and next-generation immune-cell platforms. It highlights promising engineering advances, including universal CAR-T cells, in vivo delivery, CAR-NK cells, and safety switches, while emphasizing unresolved challenges in durability, safety, scalability, and global access.

Why H2N2 flu is back on the pandemic preparedness radar

A historical review in Vaccine warns that global H2N2 immunity has sharply declined since the 1957 Asian influenza pandemic, leaving most people without H2-specific protection if the virus re-emerges. The authors highlight animal reservoirs, waning birth-cohort immunity, and modern H2 vaccine platforms as key priorities for pandemic preparedness.

Bacterial vesicles emerge as powerful tools against antibiotic resistance

Antibiotic resistance is making bacterial infections harder to treat, demanding new therapeutic strategies. A new review highlights bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs) as promising nanoscale tools that can kill pathogens, block infection, enhance vaccines, and deliver drugs.
