A team of researchers from  obtained magnetic nanoparticles using a sweet flag (Acorus calamus). Both the roots and the leaves of this plant have antioxidant, antimicrobial, and insecticide properties. The extract of the sweet flag was used as a non-toxic reagent for the manufacture of coated particles. The authors of the work also showed the …

One promising strategy to treat cancer is stimulating the body’s own immune system to attack tumors. However, tumors are very good at suppressing the immune system, so these types of treatments don’t work for all patients. MIT engineers have now come up with a way to boost the effectiveness of one type of cancer …
