Some of the world's smallest organisms could play a significant role in solving the problem of plastic pollution. Increasingly, it is being discovered how certain bacteria can break down plastic into small particles, which can then be recycled. Leiden Ph.D. candidate Jo-Anne Verschoor discovered that nearly 20% of the bacterial strains she...

Gene silencing in plants has faced significant challenges, primarily due to the difficulty of transporting RNA molecules across plant cell membranes and achieving systemic effects. Traditional genetic engineering methods are time-consuming and often limited by plant genotype. Due to these challenges, there is a pressing need for innovative...

Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed microscopic robots, known as microrobots, capable of swimming through the lungs to deliver cancer-fighting medication directly to metastatic tumors. This approach has shown promise in mice, where it inhibited the growth and spread of tumors that had metastasized to the lungs,...

Scientists have already made edible robotic components. The next challenge is integrating them together to create an entire robot snack that could be used in a wide range of applications, from delivering healthcare to monitoring the environment. Imagine ordering drone delivery for your takeout, and then, after eating your food, you eat the...

Worldwide, a majority of babies – approximately 75% – drink infant formula in their first six months of life, either as a sole source of nutrition or as a supplement to breastfeeding. But while formula provides essential food for growing babies, it currently does not replicate the full nutritional profile of breast milk. That's in part because...

A team from the Innovative Genomics Institute at the University of California, Berkeley (UCB) has produced an increase in gene expression in a food crop by changing its upstream regulatory DNA. While other studies have used CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing to knock out or decrease the expression of genes, new research published in Science Advances is the...

Two doses of allergen-encapsulating nanoparticles delivered intravenously prevented anaphylaxis during a food allergy test in mice, according to a study led by University of Michigan researchers. The results, published in Advanced Healthcare Materials, offer a potential path to improving the ease of allergy immunotherapies in humans which...

Cross-border scientific collaboration has developed an alternative for the treatment of solid tumors based on inhibition of the inflammatory tumor microenvironment (TME). Solid tumors are difficult to treat, partly owing to cells and substances in the TME that prevent drugs from penetrating and stop the patient's own immune system from combating...
