Drug-free nanoparticles halted aggressive breast cancer tumors in preclinical trial

  • One response
New nanoparticles developed at the Technion do not release a drug, but rather affect the immune system around the tumor. In a preclinical trial, they inhibited aggressive triple-negative breast cancer.

On the road to improved desalination

  • No comments
Researchers from the Technion and the University of Texas at Austin have mapped wet membranes for the first time using TEM cryo-tomography, revealing a volume expansion of approximately 30% under water flow, offering insights into designing more efficient membranes; the study was selected as a cover

This is how the bone marrow reacts to injuries and infections

  • No comments
Dr. Kathryn Vandorna from the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering at the Technion has developed a new method that allows the monitoring of the formation of immune blood cells in the bone marrow. For this purpose, she used tiny magnetic particles of iron oxide, which
