Driving up the immune response at the site of a cancer tumor with nanotechnology may help enhance immunotherapy treatments in advanced stages of the disease. …
How highly processed foods harm memory in the aging brain
A diet of highly processed food led to a strong inflammatory response in the brains of aging rats that was accompanied by behavioral signs of memory loss …
Engineering nanobodies as lifesavers against SARS-CoV-2 variants
Engineered nanobodies can neutralize SARS-CoV-2 variants through two separate mechanisms. …
Using nanobodies to block a tick-borne bacterial infection
Tiny molecules called nanobodies, which can be designed to mimic antibody structures and functions, may be the key to blocking a tick-borne bacterial infection that remains out of reach of almost all antibiotics …
Experimental treatment might keep COVID-19 patients off the ventilator
An experimental treatment reduces the severity of acute respiratory distress syndrome caused by a viral infection in animals. …
