Photoresponsive Nanoparticles And CRISPR Activation To Treat Cancer

When it comes to using CRISPR on a broad scale, different types of applications have to be utilized for different systems. If modifying bacterial genomes are the focus, then a viral vector to get the CRISPR complex into the cell is efficient enough for most purposes. But on multicellular organisms, there can be a number […]

Using Biomaterials To Make Transplantable Human Blood Vessel Systems

When severe injuries occur, there can often be damage to skin, tissues, and organs. Depending on the extent of that damage, replacements can often be required. It has only been in recent decades that medical technologies have advanced far enough for things like skin grafts and organ replacements to have become viable and at a […]
