Blood clotting venom research: Some of the world’s deadliest snakes could soon be saving lives, with research from The University of Queensland showing venom could be used to stop uncontrolled bleeding. The biomaterials research team from UQ’s Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN), led by Postdoctoral Research Fellow Amanda Kijas, has found protein in […]
Blood clot-busting nanocapsules could reduce existing treatment’s side effects: Imperial researchers have designed drug delivery nanocapsules that could reduce the side effects of a major blood clot dissolving drug. Tested on human blood in the lab, the selective nanocapsules could reduce the side effects of a major blood clot dissolving drug, which include bleeding on […]
