Engineering Researchers Create Innovative Microparticles that Unlock New Insights into Protein Degradation and Immune Cell Behavior

FAMU-FSU College of Engineering researchers have created a new method for studying protein degradation within immune cells. This method uses engineered microparticles to track and analyze degradation processes more effectively than traditional methods.

The work, published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, has important implications for treating diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and autoimmune disorders.
