When it comes to communicating, cells perform better in crowds. When too many work together, though, the cells end up in a game of “telephone,” passing on increasingly unreliable signals.Microscopic image of an organoid exposed to epidermal growth factor...
An immunotherapy drug delivery system created at Yale that can carry multiple drugs inside a tiny particle is heading toward its first phase of clinical trials for a possible new treatment for cancer.A cutaway illustration of the nanogel developed by...
Mechanical forces are a critical part of essential cellular behaviors, from muscle contraction to cell division. Exactly how they generate those forces, however, isn’t entirely understood. An artificial cellular environment and a photosensitive drug have...
Sticky nanoparticles that deliver drugs precisely to their targets — and then stay there — could play a crucial role in fighting ovarian and uterine cancers.Image of cancer cells (green) taking up fluorescently labeled nanoparticles (red), demonstrating...
