When cells are starved or distressed, RNA and RNA-binding proteins can coalesce into membraneless liquid droplets called stress granules. These shut down translation, helping cells conserve energy.

Layered drug nanoparticles can now be produced efficiently and at scale using a microfluidic method that eliminates purification and improves consistency. Since its adaptation to nanoscale materials, ...

This past spring, the U.S. Pharmacopeia indicated that it was considering new guidelines for the determination of particulate matter in therapeutic formulations. Existing guidelines emphasize the use ...

Microparticle dust aggregates, which are thought to play a role in the formation of new planets, are less likely to stick together after a collision when the aggregates are larger. Current evidence ...

Micro- and nanoplastics are increasingly detected in human tissues, including the brain, and experimental evidence suggests ...

Plastics are everywhere—from packaging and textiles to electronics and medical devices. As plastic waste breaks down, it releases microscopic particles that can penetrate our ecosystems, hinder plant ...
