Breakthrough medical technology like mRNA vaccines rely on tiny nanoparticles to deliver medicine to cells. A new device will help drug manufacturers and evaluators like the FDA more precisely measure genetic payloads to evaluate drug effectiveness.

Researchers examining the mechanics of drug dissolution and the natural anatomy of the stomach found that taking a pill while lying on your right side shortens the time it takes for medicine to be absorbed.

A new system developed by Johns Hopkins researchers could monitor drug resistance in elusive cancer cells and open the door for more effective treatment options.

"Ruffle" appendages on certain cells help them sense the viscosity of fluids around them, allowing them to transform their shape to better move around.

To prepare for NASA's Artemis missions, graduate students Juan Sebastian Rubio, Miguel X. Diaz-Lopez, and Matt Gorman ran a series of experiments to understand plume surface interactions— or what will happen when a landing spacecraft approaches the lunar surface.

The finding could help detect and treat kidney diseases and aid in disease modeling.

Hopkins-led team equips untethered mini-device with ability to tap through tissue.

Jeremy Brown’s lab earns this award following the Department of Medicine/Whiting School of Engineering Research Retreat.

Researchers say the sensor combines accuracy levels approaching that of PCR testing with the speed of rapid antigen tests, and could be used for mass testing at airports, schools, and hospitals.

Experiments investigating how bubbles interact with swirls of air or water upend decades-held theory of turbulence research.

Sung Hoon Kang focuses his research on how nature—plants, animals, the human body—can provide inspiration for engineering breakthroughs. Through a four-year, roughly $600,000 Air Force grant, he is studying how the lightweight, adaptable, irregular structure of bird bones could provide a blueprint for more efficient and resilient aerospace and automotive materials.

In four experiments on pig tissues, the robot excelled at suturing two ends of intestine—one of the most intricate and delicate tasks in abdominal surgery.
