Imagine using sound to transport medicine in your body. Scientists have a new trick up their sleeve. They are using red blood cells (RBCs), which are safe and naturally break down. Usually, attaching tiny particles called nanoparticles (NPs) to RBCs is complicated and involves many steps. However, t
Parkinson's disease (PD) patients dealing with impulsive-compulsive behaviors (ICB) face a peculiar challenge: dopaminergic drugs (DD) meant to help them can sometimes disrupt their decision-making skills. Researchers explored this by having PD patients with and without ICB, plus healthy individuals
