Image: The glowing yellow specks in the image show uptake of the nanosponge vaccine by a mouse immune system dendritic cell. The detained alpha-hemolysin toxins were labeled with a fluorescent dye, which glows yellow. The cell membrane was stained red and the nuclei stained blue (Photo courtesy of the University of California, San Diego,  Department of NanoEngineering).

Novel Nanosponge Vaccine Protects Mice from MRSA Toxin

A novel vaccine based on "nanosponges" that sequester toxic, pore-forming toxoids permits presentation of these toxins to immune system defensive cells without danger of damaging them.  More...

Image: Malaria parasites (labeled with fluorescent protein) in the late stages of development, superimposed on a field of red blood cells. The many nuclei of the parasites\' daughter cells are labeled in blue, and the plasma membranes surrounding the daughter cells are labeled in green. Imidazopyrazine treatment disrupts formation of the membranes around the daughter cells (Photo courtesy of Dr. Marcus C.S. Lee, Columbia University Medical Center).

Imidazopyrazines Kill the Malaria Parasite at Every Stage of Its Life Cycle

An enzyme that is vital to all life stages of several species of malaria parasites has been cited as a tempting target for drug developers.  More...

Ultrasound, Nanoparticles Help Diabetics Avoid the Needle

A new nanotechnology-based technique for regulating blood sugar in diabetics may give patients the ability to release insulin painlessly using a small ultrasound device, allowing them to go days between injections, instead of using needles to give themselves multiple insulin injections each day.   More...

Image: Salk Institute scientists have grown human stem cells into early-stage ureteric buds. They used mouse embryonic kidney cells (seen here in red) to coax the human stem cells to grow into the nascent mushroom-shaped buds (blue and green) (Photo courtesy of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies).

Human Stem Cells Used to Generate Functional Kidney-Like Structures

A paper described the successful differentiation of human stem cells into functioning kidney-like structures.   More...
