Un avance hacia medicamentos y vacunas inhalables de ARNm
American Chemical Society (ACS)

A la mayoría de la gente no le gusta aplicarse vacunas o inyecciones para recibir tratamientos. Por eso, los investigadores trabajan para crear más medicamentos, como los que se fabrican a partir de ARN mensajero (ARNm), que puedan pulverizarse e inhalarse. Un estudio publicado en la revista Journal of the American Chemical Society informa sobre los avances para hacer posible los medicamentos de ARNm inhalables. Los investigadores indican que la nanopartícula de polímero lipídico, que es estable cuando se nebuliza y libera aerosoles (gotitas líquidas) en los pulmones de ratones de forma satisfactoria, se optimizó para contener el ARNm.

Un avance hacia rayos X más seguros gracias a la nueva tecnología de detectores
American Chemical Society (ACS)

Los rayos X son un componente habitual de las pruebas diagnósticas y el monitoreo industrial, y se utilizan para todo, desde el control de los dientes hasta el escaneo de maletas en el aeropuerto. Sin embargo, los rayos de elevada energía también producen radiación ionizante, que puede ser peligrosa tras exposiciones prolongadas o excesivas. Ahora, investigadores que publican en ACS Central Science han avanzado hacia rayos X más seguros con la creación de un detector altamente sensible y plegable que genera imágenes de buena calidad con dosis más pequeñas de estos rayos.

Detecting Evidence of Lung Cancer in Exhaled Breath
American Chemical Society (ACS)

Exhaled breath contains chemical clues to what’s going on inside the body, including diseases like lung cancer. And devising ways to sense these compounds could help doctors provide early diagnoses — and improve patients’ prospects. In a study in ACS Sensors, researchers report developing ultrasensitive, nanoscale sensors that in small-scale tests distinguished a key change in the chemistry of the breath of people with lung cancer. November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month.

Turning Plants Into Workout Supplement Bio-Factories
American Chemical Society (ACS)

It’s important to eat your veggies, but some essential vitamins and nutrients can only be found in animals, including certain amino acids and peptides. But, in a proof-of-concept study published in ACS’ Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, researchers developed a method to produce creatine, carnosine and taurine — all animal-based nutrients and common workout supplements — right inside a plant. The system allows for different synthetic modules to be easily stacked together to boost production.
