- Besides arthritis, these potentially life-saving nanomaterials could also treat cancer and neurological disorders.
- Yupeng Chen, an associate professor for biomedical engineering at the university, is partnering with Eascra Biotech and Axiom Space to leverage the unique conditions available through the International Space Station (ISS) National Laboratory to produce DNA-inspired Janus base nanomaterials (JBNs).
- The project, which was funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation, is still ongoing, but Chen says initial results from the research are very promising.
