A new study has revealed molecular rules governing how nanoparticles interact with biological systems, showing how their physicochemical properties shape protein corona (PC) formation and influence biological outcomes. The findings provide a framework for designing nanomedicines
A new study has revealed molecular rules governing how nanoparticles interact with biological systems, showing how their physicochemical properties shape protein corona (PC) formation and influence biological outcomes. The findings provide a framework for designing nanomedicines with more predictable biological identities.

Much of what we know about biology comes from animal models, particularly mice. Applying these insights to humans, however, is not always straightforward. For example, some of the genes important for the formation of germ cells, which eventually give rise to eggs or sperm, differ

The word "vacuum" may conjure the image of empty space. Maybe you think of a region far outside the solar system without planets, debris, gas clouds or light. According to quantum theory, however, a vacuum is never truly empty. Quantum mechanics extends the Heisenberg uncertainty
