A group of University of Iowa researchers with expertise in neuroscience, pharmaceutical sciences, chemistry, biomedical engineering, and nanofabrication has created a novel solution to prevent blood clots in patients who have suffered a brain aneurysm. Their solution — a nanometer-thin, protein-infused coating that, when applied to tiny brain stents, reduces the risk of blood clots…

Tumor-targeting nanoparticles loaded with a drug that makes cancer cells more vulnerable to chemotherapy’s toxicity could be used to treat an aggressive and often deadly form of endometrial cancer, according to new research by the University of Iowa College of Pharmacy. For the first time, researchers combined traditional chemotherapy with a relatively new cancer drug…
