It's a key problem that will need to be addressed if humans are to attempt deep-space, long-duration missions. Not only is radiation exposure a dangerous health risk to humans, but it also poses a ...

Innovative Takumi-shaped DNA hydrogels exhibit prolonged retention and drug release, showcasing their potential as biocompatible delivery systems in medicine.

Hydrogels are polymeric materials with three-dimensional network structures containing large amounts of water. They serve as sustained-release drug delivery systems as they can encapsulate various ...

DNA hydrogels are biocompatible drug delivery systems for targeted therapeutic interventions. Conventional DNA hydrogels, formed with many DNA nanostructure units, lead to increased preparation costs ...

A recent study investigates how polyester microdroplets, potential precursors to modern cells, could form under realistic early Earth conditions. Researchers pushed these conditions to the limits, ...

Within the major group of semisolid preparations, the use of hydrogel has expanded, both in cosmetics and in pharmaceutical preparations (Gowda et al., 2016). Hydrogels are appropriate for wound ...

Put simply, electrolytes are the minerals which are essential to many of the body’s most vital functions. These minerals ...
