New Mexico State University academic programs, scholarships and STEM programs in southeastern New Mexico have received support from a generous donation from Chevron’s Mid Continent Business Unit. A gift from Chevron is providing support for academic programs and scholarships at New Mexico State University Carlsbad and STEM programs in southeastern New Mexico. NMSU’s Chemical and Materials Engineering Department Head David Rockstraw and department faculty will connect with NMSU Carlsbad students via the Watkins Extended Learning Classroom.

Researchers develop ultra-small nanomedicines to target intractable cancers Ultra-small nanomedicines of approximately 18 nm were fabricated by dynamic ion-pairing between Y-shaped block copolymers and nucleic acid drugs, such as siRNA and antisense drugs. Chemically modified and double-stranded oligonucleotides dramatically enhanced the stability of the ultra-small nanomedicines in the blood circulation. The ultra-small size allows for high permeability in cancer tissues by slipping through the cracks in tumor vasculatures and stromal tissues. Clinical trials and preclinical studies using th...
