Rare cranial disorders: Towards a non-invasive therapy using gene silencing delivered by nanoparticles and 3D printing
Universita Cattolica del Sacro CuoreTwo studies conducted by researchers at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Rome campus, may pave the way for a new non-surgical treatment for craniosynostosis, a condition characterized by severe craniofacial malformations.Two studies conducted by researchers at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Rome campus, may pave the way for a new non-surgical treatment for craniosynostosis, a condition characterized by severe craniofacial malformations.
Origami principle in space deployable membrane structures: Mechanism, application and prospects
SciOpenThe accelerated evolution of space technology has elevated the importance of high power and lightweight attributes in satellite design. In response to the conflict between the demand for large-scale, high-power payloads and the need for lightweight, compact platforms, flexible space origami membrane structures have emerged as a potential solution. These structures possess the ability to overcome the limitations of traditional deployable mechanisms. Their geometric reconfiguration capabilities, characterized by high folding ratios, effectively satisfy the high-power performance demands.

Exploring the significance of extracellular vesicles: Key players in advancing cancer and possible theranostic tools
Chinese Medical Journals Publishing House Co., Ltd.Highlights
•
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play pivotal roles in cancer from inception through all phases of development.
•
EV-mediated signaling profoundly influences the tumor microenvironment (TME), fostering immune evasion.
•
EV-based liquid biopsies are promising when biopsy sampling is challenging.
•
Engineered EVs show potential for targeting tumors more precisely.
