A novel nanoparticle platform facilitates therapeutically effective delivery of encapsulated agents to the brain, opening possibilities for treating neurological disorders. The technology showed three times more accumulation in brain than conventional methods and was therapeutically effective in mouse models.
A study from Cardiff University found that more than half of individuals with certain genetic conditions had significant autistic symptoms, despite not meeting formal diagnostic criteria. The research emphasizes the need for an individualized approach to assessing the needs of people with genetic conditions.
Researchers have created putty-like composites of gallium metal with improved handling properties, enabling new applications in wearable devices and medical implants. The composites also exhibit excellent electromagnetic interference shielding and thermal interface materials properties.
Scientists from Japan develop a novel approach to acquire fluorescence lifetime images without scanning, using optical frequency combs and high-speed single-point photodetectors. This method offers superior speed and high spatial resolution for simultaneous imaging of multiple samples.
