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

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 ...

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't fight them—throw them in the cellular trash. In a new study published in ...

Scientists racing to tackle plastic pollution have created a surprising new contender: a biodegradable packaging film made partly from milk protein. Researchers at Flinders University blended calcium ...

Scientists at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU) and at Nanjing University have combined a widely used medical polymer with a natural blood protein to develop a new nanoparticle drug delivery ...

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 ...

Researchers at Johns Hopkins APL, inspired by biomolecules found in cold-tolerant organisms, are developing novel materials ...

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 ...

A crucial ‘precursor’ has been identified in pathological protein fibril formation. Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University (Japan) have applied ideas from polymer physics to illuminate the ...
