Often Hailed as a Revolutionary New Technology,
Nanotechnology Has the Potential to Impact Almost Every Area of Society
The National Nanotechnology Centre (Nanotec) yesterday unveiled its
latest invention, a nanofibre net that can kill malaria carrying mosquitoes
within six minutes of their contact with it.
T-Cell Based Delivery Systems and New Imaging Options Push Field Forward
The studies introduce new approaches that are considered "green" nanobiotechnology
because they use no artificial compounds.
Clinical trials using patients’ own immune cells
to target tumors have yielded promising results
Demonstrated that mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), can store
and deliver chemotherapeutic drugs in vivo and effectively suppress tumors in mice
Smart UnderWear:
Monitoring & Treating Medical Conditions
NanoTech & Stem Cells Regenerate Arteries
A combination of nanotechnology and adult stem cells
has been shown to destroy arterial plaque atherosclerosis in the hearts of pigs
New ' Fuzzy Fiber ' Could Help Glaucoma Sufferers
A futuristic fabric originally developed for use in the aviation and
energy industries could find use in treating advanced glaucoma, researchers said
To Attack H1N1, Other Flu Viruses, Gold NanoRods Deliver Potent Payload
Future pandemics of seasonal flu, H1N1 and other drug-resistant viruses may be thwarted
by a potent, immune-boosting payload that is effectively delivered to cells by gold nanorods
New Arsenic NanoParticles Blocks Aggressive Breast Cancer
researchers took a drug therapy proven for blood cancers but ineffective against solid tumors,
packaged it with nanotechnology and got it to combat an aggressive type of breast cancer
prevalent in young women, particularly young African-American women.
NanoBlasts from Laser Activated NanoParticles Move Molecules, Proteins & DNA into Cells
Using chemical “nanoblasts” that punch tiny holes in the protective membranes of cells, researchers
have demonstrated a new technique for getting therapeutic small molecules,
proteins and DNA directly into living cells.
