A squishy solution for smoother drug delivery
Customizable hydrogels could make taking diabetes and cancer medications as well as other biologics easier for patients.

Tardigrades protect proteins on the brink of death
Tardigrades survive heat, freezing, and even space radiation. Now, researchers translate lessons learned from these creatures into more stable drug formulations and new health insights.
No need for a cold chain with these thin films
Most vaccines and biologics must stay cold until ready for use, but new thin film technology stabilizes these therapeutics for months at room temperature.
Tiny needles make a big impact for vaccine delivery
Microarray, or microneedle, patches could boost vaccine access in low- and middle-income countries.
