Taking medications on time, in the right dose and for the prescribed duration can be challenging for patients, and failure to do so comes with steep costs, causing 10% of hospitalizations and billions ...

Novel nanocomposites remove and recover nutrients from wastewater, subsequently upcycling them as agricultural fertilizers or as biorefinery feedstocks, while simultaneously mitigating the occurrence ...

Overview of hydrogel-based direct EV isolation and fabrication and porosity characterization of meso–macroporous hydrogel particles. Credit: Nature Nanotechnology (2025). DOI: 10.1038/s41565-025-02011 ...

A study published in Nature Nanotechnology introduces an innovative approach to mitigating alcohol intoxication using a single-site iron-anchored amyloid hydrogel (FeSA@AH). This nanozyme-based ...

Researchers developed a self-healing hydrogel that restored neural function and improved symptoms in rats with Parkinson's-like disease. (Nanowerk News) Parkinson’s disease is a progressive brain ...

An adhesive hydrogel whose stickiness can be turned off by shining infrared light on it could make for better bandages or allow robots to climb walls, according to the researchers who developed it ...

An unusual way to deliver drugs gives new meaning to the term “Jell-O shot.” Injected into rats, a water-based gel mixed with the key ingredients in Ozempic or Mounjaro offered long-lasting diabetes ...

The sol-gel process is a widely used method for synthesizing nanoparticles with precise control over size, shape, and composition. This method converts a liquid precursor, or "sol," into a solid gel ...

A "gene silencer" (technically known as small interfering RNA, or siRNA), locally delivered by nanoparticles embedded in an injectable gel produced through 3D printing, can switch off the defective ...
