Magnetized Microalgae Could be the Future of Medicine
Scientists develop magnetized microalgae microswimmers using terbium.
Gene Therapy: Virus-like Delivery System Takes the Heat out of Melanoma
Targeted viral-based gene therapies come with their own risks. A new gene delivery system mimics viral therapies to infect cancer cells with vesicular stomatitis virus matrix protein, with a similar transfection efficiency as the virus itself.
