Advances in drug delivery: A new framework linking lipid nanoparticle structure and immune responses
Diagram of receptors protruding from the cell membrane. The red molecule approaches the receptor cavity. The membrane consists of two layers of molecules, with a purple head on the outside and an orange tail on the inside.

Nanoparticle therapy brings new hope to prostate cancer patients
The wavelength of 810 nm is optimal for energy absorption/excitation of nanoshells (orange) compared to hemoglobin (red) and water (blue). The nanoshell diameter is approximately 150 nm, which is 46 times smaller than a red blood cell (RBC). NIR refers to near-infrared rays. Credit: Journal of Urology (2024). DOI: 10.1097/JU.0000000000004222 Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death…
