How the bacterial nano-syringe injects toxins into cells “With this technique, we have taken the first step towards our ultimate goal of using these nano-syringes in medicine to introduce drugs ...

"But delivered in combination using these nano-syringes, our research demonstrated extreme lethality, with at least a three-fold increase in the number of dead cancer cells following treatment.

So far, little has been known about how bacteria build this nano-syringe. Scientists from the ... and stacks them one after the other onto the tip of the growing needle. The scientists could ...

They have now succeeded in replacing the toxin in this nano-syringe with a different substance. This accomplishment creates a basis for their ultimate goal to use bacterial syringes as drug ...

Led by Charles Lieber, the Mark Hyman Jr. Professor of Chemistry, an international team of researchers has developed a method of fabricating nanoscale electronic scaffolds that can be injected via ...

As shown in the below images, the resulting electric field causes fibers to be pulled out of the droplet at the end of the syringe tip and onto a grounded metal ... of many researchers from various ...

The nano-patch is outlined in the latest edition ... "Currently most vaccines are delivered with the needle and syringe into muscle, which has few immune cells," he says. "In contrast, the skin ...
