Scientists have developed a nanoparticle-based treatment that successfully reversed Alzheimer’s disease in mice. As detailed in a new paper published in the journal Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy, the team co-led by the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia, Spain (IBEC), and West China Hospital, Sichuan University, developed bioactive “supramolecular drugs” that can proactively repair the blood-brain barrier. The barrier plays …

Groundbreaking research led by a Swansea University academic has revealed a synthetic glycosystem – a sugar-coated polymer nanoparticle – that can block Covid-19 from infecting human cells, reducing infection rates by nearly 99%. The glycosystem is a specially designed particle that mimics natural sugars found on human cells. These sugars, known as polysialosides, are made of repeating units of sialic …
