Scientists Float Soap Bubbles As a More Effective Drug Delivery Method

Zothecula writes: As if soap bubbles don't spread enough happiness on their own, scientists have discovered a way of coating them in biomolecules with a view to treating viruses, cancer and other diseases. The technology has been developed at the University of Maryland, where researchers devised a method of tricking the body into mistaking the bubbles for harmful cells, triggering an immune response and opening up new possibilities in the delivery of drugs and vaccines.

The things these researchers use are not bubbles. Not even close. As usual, science reports by journalists and PR offices are terrible.
