Encapsulating human stem-cell-derived beta cells in microcapsules made with an immune-cell-repelling protein restored glucose metabolism in diabetic mice and protected the cells from immune system ...

Encasing insecticides in microscopic plastic capsules -- a common formulation for many pest sprays on the market -- could lead to unintended consequences. Encasing insecticides in microscopic plastic ...

Homogeneous molecular catalysts are highly active and selective as they possess well-tailored structures and accessible sites. Unfortunately, the difficulty related to catalyst recovery impedes their ...

Encapsulating human stem-cell-derived beta cells in microcapsules made with a protein that repels key immune cells restored glucose metabolism in diabetic mice and protected the cells from immune ...

Scientists at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have developed a novel technique to encapsulate liquid droplets used for various applications, including single crystal growth and cell culture.

A newly developed system to deliver tiny capsules containing anti-inflammatory proteins to specific parts of the brain may help fight Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. AstroCapsules, described in ...

The need to avoid immunosuppression is often the driving force behind research into alternative therapeutic options for the treatment of a range of diseases. One such disease is type I diabetes, which ...

Highly radioactive capsules are stored underwater at the Waste Encapsulation Storage Facility. The capsules contain radioactive isotopes called cesium and strontium that are byproducts of plutonium ...
