Chiral gold nanoparticles improve vaccine efficacy by more than 25 percent
Publicado em 20 abril 2022
The results of a recent international study suggest that left-handed gold nanoparticles can increase vaccine effectiveness by 25 percent, providing useful adjuvant capabilities.
Researchers from universities in the US, China and Brazil investigated the effects of gold nanoparticles on vaccines developed to combat a specific strain of influenza virus. They discovered that chiral gold nanoparticles increase vaccine efficacy by more than 25 percent. The study was initiated prior to the COVID-19 [...]

Terahertz light could enhance QC of chiral drugs
Publicado emA study shows terahertz light creates twisting vibrations in biomolecules, enabling the analysis of their compositions and structures. Researchers from the University of Michigan (U-M), US, have demonstrated that terahertz light can probe both the structures of molecular crystals and their chirality and therefore could be used to confirm the compositions and structures of therapeutics. The technique could also help diagnose harmful accumulations of chiral molecules in the body, including [...]ver notícia -

Topical treatment strategy for fighting skin cancer identified
Publicado em 10 outubro 2017Researchers have combined low-intensity electric current with a formulation containing nano-encapsulated chemotherapy to treat skin cancer… Researchers in Brazil, are testing a technique in mice that combines low-intensity electric current with a formulation containing nano-encapsulated chemotherapy to treat skin cancer. The researchers applied a low-intensity unidirectional current to ensure that chemical substances penetrate the skin, and are pushed into the bloodstream through the [...]ver notícia
