This work highlights how molecular crosslinking can be used to reinforce dendrimers, and demonstrates how conjugated systems can be built simultaneously into these nanostructures. The definitive ...

Delve into the kinase inhibitors' diverse landscape, from cancer breakthroughs to autoimmune disease innovations.

At the center of this process are the molecular switches that turn communication signals in the body on and off. These molecules are key players in health and disease. One such molecular switch is ...

Molecular electronics is a branch of nanotechnology that focuses on using individual molecules or nanoscale molecular structures as electronic components to create miniaturized circuits and devices.

Researchers have discovered that cancer cells suppress 'poison exons' -- genetic elements that act as an off switch for protein production -- in a key gene called TRA2 , promoting tumor growth.

As building blocks for the creation of new nanomachines such as molecular motors, pumps and switches, they could make improvements in everything from the delivery of medicines to information ...
