Ithaca: Researchers at Cornell University have created a generalized method for "cloaking" proteins, which may allow for the recycling of materials like antibodies for biological research and therapeutic applications.
Lipid nanoparticles, which resemble tiny bubbles of fat, have the ability to ensnare the "cloaked" proteins. Because of their microscopic size, these bubbles are able to secretly deliver their cargo into living cells, where the proteins unfold and begin to work as medicine.
