Nanoparticles carrying rapamycin help lower immune response to biologic drugs

Biodegradable poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles carrying a small molecule immunomodulatory agent called rapamycin can help patients become more tolerant to biologic drugs. This is the new finding from researchers at Selecta Biosciences, Inc. in Watertown, Massachusetts, who say that the combination could help prevent the formation of antidrug antibodies in patients and even allow them to […]

Nanostructures harness surface tension for macroscale applications

Advances in nanofabrication have shifted surface tension engineering from the realms of chemistry to nanomechanics. As CJ Kim told attendees at the Nano Korea 2016 plenaries, nanomechanical surface tension design has a huge role to play in a range of technologies from ink-jet printing and superhydrophobic surfaces, to drag reduction in boat design…… http://nanotechweb.org/cws/article/tech/65793

Nanoswimmer goes for gold

Researchers at the Institute of Robotics and Intelligent Systems at ETH Zurich in Switzerland have made a new type of nanoswimmer with a flexible tail that is propelled by acoustic waves. The nanobot might be used in a host of application areas, including drug delivery, non-invasive surgery, material assembly, lithography and even water treatment……… http://nanotechweb.org/cws/article/tech/65829 […]
