A drug with three active ingredients that are released in sequence at specific times: Thanks to the work of a team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), what was once a pharmacologist's dream is now much closer to reality. With a combination of hydrogels and artificial DNA, nanoparticles can be released in sequence under conditions similar to those in the human body...
The DNA of two people differs in millions of places. But which of those variants also have an actual effect on how our bodies function? Researchers from the Netherlands Cancer Institute have developed a technique that allows them to see which changes in the genetic code affect the activity of genes and, therefore, how we function. They publish their findings in the Nature Genetics journal...
