Biohybrid Solutions is pioneering a new approach to bioconjugate production using polymer-based protein engineering. This innovation allows more control, expands the available polymer library, and ...

Harvard scientists' protein-based scaffold grown on a polymer substrate could be used to grow organ tissue and treat wounds. Researchers in the School of Engineering and Applied Science at Harvard ...

This work turns what would otherwise be an agricultural liability into a potential input for advanced manufacturing.

Recent studies have identified that the global aggregation of macro-plastic waste is one of the most pressing environmental concerns, having an impact on all living forms, ecological processes, and ...

(Nanowerk News) Most life on Earth is based on polymers of 20 amino acids that have evolved into hundreds of thousands of different, highly specialized proteins. They catalyze reactions, form backbone ...

In the latest stride toward combating neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), a team led by Professor Nathan Gianneschi from the International Institute for Nanotechnology at Northwestern ...

Scientists at Northwestern University and at the University of California San Diego have developed a potent injectable therapy that the results of rodent studies showed can protect the heart from ...

Scientists at Northwestern and Case Western Reserve universities have developed the first polymer-based therapeutic for Huntington's disease, an incurable, debilitating illness that causes nerve cells ...

Protein stabilization is key to tackling protein aggregation, which is involved in neurodegenerative diseases. Rajan et al. explore molecular mechanisms by which zwitterionic polymers stabilize ...

In patients with Huntington’s disease, proteins misfold and clump together. Researchers imagine the treatment could potentially someday be administered as a once-weekly injection to delay disease ...
