Previous research links tiny plastic particles to a range of adverse health conditions but largely stops short of ...

A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

An international research team led by RMIT University have created tiny particles, known as nanodots, made from a metallic compound that can kill cancer cells while leaving healthy cells largely ...

Cell-to-cell communication through nanosized particles, working as messengers and carriers, can now be analyzed in a whole new way, thanks to a new method involving CRISPR gene-editing technology. The ...

Piezoelectric nanoparticles deployed inside immune cells and stimulated remotely by ultrasound can trigger the body's disease ...

A research team led by the Medical University of Vienna and the University of Vienna has investigated a possible link between ...

Representative light microscopy images of carbonaceous (black) particles adherent to red blood cells (red arrows) from healthy volunteers. Each image is from a different adult volunteer. Researchers ...

The widespread production and use of plastics began around the 1950s, but the production of plastics has also increased steadily. It's estimated that about 2 million metric tons of plastic were ...

Micro- and nanoscale plastic particles in soil and water can significantly increase how much toxic chemicals plants and human intestinal cells absorb, according to two new studies from Rutgers Health ...

CRISPR gRNA is used to knock out specific genes in cells, which is barcoded into the sEVs they release. By analyzing the barcodes in the sEVs and cells, researchers can better understand the factors ...
