Precise, Efficient Delivery of mRNA Medicine to the Placenta
Using tiny lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to improve mRNA medicine delivery and uptake in the placenta for healthier pregnancies Problem: The placenta is an important biological barrier that connects the mother and fetus while keeping their blood supplies separate, enabling nutrient and oxygen delivery and waste removal for healthy development. Abnormal...

Novel Chromogenic Beta-Lactamase Substrate for Diagnostic Biomaterials
Overview Chromogenic beta-lactamase substrates are used to diagnose bacterial infections. Yet those currently available lose their diagnostic color-change capability when chemically modified. We have synthesized a novel chromogenic beta-lactam molecule (“ANT”) that retains its color-change response when modified for conjugation to a range...
