Piezoelectric nanoparticles deployed inside immune cells and stimulated remotely by ultrasound can trigger the body's disease ...

Hijacking the energy-producing organelles from immune cells seems to help tumours in mice to infiltrate lymph nodes.

Due to the “programmable” nature of the nanoparticle, researchers are able to “swap out the antibodies or the drugs to target different diseases — like autoimmune disorders or different types of ...

A newly identified mechanism lends credence to the idea that MS may be treatable by targeting EBV-infected B-cells, a study found.
