Microparticles (MPs) are small membrane-bound vesicles that are emerging as important elements in the pathogenesis of rheumatic diseases owing to their pleiotropic effects on thrombosis, vascular ...

Significant progress has been made recently in our understanding of microparticles (MPs). MPs (also called microvesicles) are small (0.1–1 μm) membrane fragments shed primarily from blood and ...

Researchers designed tiny particles that can be implanted at a cancer tumor site, where they deliver two types of therapy: heat and chemotherapy. Patients with late-stage cancer often have to endure ...

There are few reminders of old age more regular that downing a colorful collection of pills and vitamins every morning. In order to design next-generation drug delivery systems -- vitamins of the ...

In this interview, we speak to Morteza Sarmadi from MIT about his labs latest research that developed microparticles able to deliver self-boosting vaccines for viruses such as COVID-19, and how this ...

Heart disease is one of the most common pathological conditions in the human body. Cardiac tissue can be damaged through any number of means, including genetic predispositions, lifestyle choices, and ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Most vaccines, from measles to Covid-19, require a series of multiple shots before the recipient is considered fully vaccinated. To make that easier to achieve, MIT researchers have ...

Engineers have developed microparticles made of a biocompatible polymer that can deliver a payload at different time points and could be used to create 'self-boosting' vaccines. Most vaccines, from ...

Pesticides used to shield crops from damaging insects have the unintended effect of killing pollinators such as bees. Researchers have now made consumable microparticles that resemble pollen grains as ...

Most vaccines, from measles to Covid-19, require a series of multiple shots before the recipient is considered fully vaccinated. To make that easier to achieve, MIT researchers have developed ...

But even though many microparticles formed, the researchers found that polyethylene microplastics and wood microparticles released when chopping carrots didn’t appear to significantly change mouse ...

Orbis Biosciences’ Optimµm Platform delivers microparticulate dosage forms with controlled-release and taste-masked properties in a single manufacturing step. Orbis Biosciences’ Optimµm Platform, an ...
