Drug-loaded nanoparticles may prevent paralysis from spinal cord injury
Posted by ArielTechGeek 440 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Researchers have developed drug-loaded nanoparticles that selectively target the cells responsible for causing damaging inflammation following a spinal cord injury. Given to mice soon after an injury, the novel therapy reduced inflammation and improved motor function, opening the door to new therapeutic possibilities for people with spinal injuries.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags:
Allergy-specific nanoparticles target immune cells, prevent anaphylaxis
Posted by ArielTechGeek 469 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Researchers have created a nanotherapy that selectively targets and shuts down the immune cells responsible for causing an allergic response in mice, preventing anaphylaxis. Able to be tailored to specific allergens, the novel nanomedicine could be the first to prevent allergic reactions.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Allergies, Nanoparticles, Nanomedicine, Northwestern Universit
