Protein stabilization is key to tackling protein aggregation, which is involved in neurodegenerative diseases. Rajan et al. explore molecular mechanisms by which zwitterionic polymers stabilize ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 117, No. 50 (December 15, 2020), pp. 32046-32055 (10 pages) Postoperative adhesions are most common issues for ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. – You may not have heard of polyethylene glycol (PEG), but there’s a good chance you’ve ingested it. The nontoxic polymer is commonly used to prevent freezer burn in ice cream, keep ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new drug delivering molecule, a zwitterionic polymer complex that can help get plasmid DNA inside cells when injected into skeletal muscle ...

Polymeric ion compounds can bind together with plasmid DNA to form a drug delivery vehicle for intramuscular injection. The team found that their new compound shows effective delivery of pDNA over ...

The research team has developed a nanostructured antifouling coating that dramatically improves the performance and stability of the electrochemical aptamer-based (E-AB) biosensors used to monitor ...

Researchers are optimizing polymer-coated nanoparticles to increase their permeability across this barrier and consequently the delivery of encapsulated drugs in the brain. Treating diseases such as ...

Most people don’t enjoy getting shots for treatments or vaccines. So, researchers are working to create more medicines, such as those made from messenger RNA (mRNA), that can be sprayed and inhaled. A ...

You may not have heard of polyethylene glycol (PEG), but there’s a good chance you’ve ingested it. The nontoxic polymer is commonly used to prevent freezer burn in ice cream, keep toothpaste moist and ...
