With several drugs in use that inhibit the hepatitis B virus polymerases (nucleos(t)ide analogues (or NUCs)), some argue that new direct-acting antiviral drugs, and new NUCs in particular ...

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) represent a highly promising nonviral delivery platform for a variety of therapeutic nucleic acids, including short interfering RNA (siRNA), mRNA (mRNA), single-guide RNA ...

A team of researchers from NUS has developed a novel method to enhance the precision of cancer treatment using gold nanoparticles tagged with DNA barcodes. Led by Assistant Professor Andy Tay from ...

The research team has developed a novel solution by designing peptides—short strings of amino acids—to bind with specific drugs and create therapeutic nanoparticles. These nanoparticles are ...

Hepatitis B (sometimes referred to as hep B) is a liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). It typically causes symptoms like stomach pain, dark urine, fatigue, fever, jaundice (yellowing ...

In summary, in the following section, the effects of nanoparticles, using CS, HA, PEG, and PLGA as examples, on hepatitis, liver fibrosis, and liver cancer will be reviewed in detail. Hopefully, this ...

For patients at high risk of hepatitis B reactivation, AGA recommends preventive antiviral medication. Reactivated HBV can lead to liver damage, hospitalization, and even death.
