One obstacle to therapeutic use of microRNAs (miRNA), which are in clinical trial for a number of diseases, are ribonucleases, whose job it is to destroy them. Researchers report that an miRNA protective against sepsis can be delivered effectively via a nanocarrier.

Researchers have measured an ultrananocrystalline diamond coating prized for its hard yet smooth properties and have shown that it is far rougher than previously believed. Their findings could help researchers better predict how surface topography affects surface properties for materials used in diverse environments from microsurgery and engines to satellite housings or spacecraft.
