- Molecular machines mechanically talk to cells ()
Artificial motors’ gentle tug can activate immune cells For the first time, an artificial molecular motor has been created that can ‘talk’ to living cells – by gently pulling their surface with enough physical force to elicit a biochemical response. The approach could help scientists decode the language that cells use to communicate with each […]
- Tiny Machine Poised to Unlock Brain’s Mysteries ()
Researchers have developed a new device that can record, sense, and manipulate brain organoids. The device will allow researchers to make groundbreaking discoveries about how the brain develops and identify mechanisms of recovery following trauma.

- Nanoparticle Drug-Delivery System Developed to Treat Brain Disorders ()
Summary: A new nanoparticle drug-delivery system resulted in unprecedented siRNA penetration across the intact blood-brain barrier. Researchers say the system could help doctors to treat secondary injuries associated with TBI that can result in Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative disorders. Source: Brigham and Women’s Hospital In the past few decades, researchers have identified biological pathways leading […]
- Nanotechnology: Putting a nanomachine to work ()
A team of chemists has successfully coupled the directed motion of a light-activated molecular motor to a different chemical unit — thus taking an important step toward the realization of synthetic nanomachines. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/01/200130144434.htm
