Researchers from the Eindhoven University of Technology have developed the 1st “DNA computer” that can detect several antibodies in the blood and perform calculations based on what it detects. The team published their work in Nature Communications and said that it’s an important step towards developing smart drugs that allow for more targeted and controlled medication delivery. […]

Artificial leaf produces drugs using solar energy
Researchers from the Eindhoven University of Technology have reportedly developed a leaf-inspired mini-factory to produce drugs using solar energy. The team’s work could allow medicine to be made in resource-deprived areas, as long as there is sunlight. “Theoretically, you could use this device to make drug compounds with solar energy anywhere you want,” lead researcher […]
Researchers develop artificial cells as drug delivery vehicles
Researchers from the Eindhoven University of Technology in Netherlands have developed artificial cells that use enzymes to move like real cells and navigate complex environments, according to a study published today in ACS Central Science. Cells maintain a form of homeostasis so that they can accomplish their designated tasks whether their fuel level is low or high. […]
