Mar 26, 2026 Researchers developed a method to self-assemble metal-organic framework nanosheets just 3 nanometers thick at a liquid-air interface, without toxic solvents or high temperatures. (Nanowerk News) Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous structures composed of metal ions (or clusters) and organic linker molecules – much like a molecular scaffold....
Turning red blood cells into ultrasound-activated nanoparticle cancer killers
Mar 26, 2026 Nanoparticles built from red blood cell membranes and loaded with a sound-sensitive dye kill liver cancer cells when triggered by ultrasound while remaining nontoxic without activation. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Red blood cell (RBC) membranes carry CD47, a protein that sends a molecular "don't eat me" signal to immune...
