July 22, 2024 — Substituting amines with phosphonium-based cations could greatly improve the performance of mRNA-loaded polymeric micelles, report scientists. By adopting this innovative strategy, they managed to enhance the stability and mRNA-delivery capabilities of micelle nanocarriers into tumor tissue in vivo. Their results hint at the importance of exploring other cations besides amines in mRNA drug ...

July 29, 2024 — Researchers who study belief dynamics often use analogies to understand and model the complex cognitive-social systems that underlie why we believe the things we do and how those beliefs can change over time. Ideas can be transmitted like a virus, for instance, 'infecting' a population as they spread from person to person. We might be drawn -- like magnets -- to others with a similar worldview. A ...
