Researchers have developed a new way to combat obesity, using nanogel carriers — tiny molecules that transport substances within the body — to deliver a drug to the liver of obese mice.
A team of neuroscientists achieved this by regenerating specific neurons back to their natural target regions. This led to recovery from complete spinal cord injuries in mice.
Chronic liver diseases, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, viral hepatitis, fibrosis, and cancer, affect tens of millions of people in just the United States alone.
