Nanotechnology to Treat Multiple Sclerosis and More
Category: Science & Technology Posted: November 20, 2012 07:51AM Author: Guest_Jim_* Sometimes our greatest ally is also our worst enemy. The immune system which protects us from foreign bacteria as well as internal mutations can turn on our bodies by attacking healthy cells. This behavior leads to different kinds of diseases including multiple sclerosis (MS), Type 1 diabetes, asthma, and some allegories. Continue reading

Imaging Nanoparticles and Validation of Specificity in In-Vivo Animal Models – Video
Imaging Nanoparticles and Validation of Specificity in In-Vivo Animal Models New nanoparticles and nanotechnology designed for medical applications require rigorous evaluation both in vitro and in vivo. The purpose of many of these nanoparticles is to improve the treatment of disease through improved specificity, delivery of novel therapeutics, improved delivery of existing therapeutics, or delivery of novel combinations of therapeutics. In other cases, the goal of the nanoparticle may be improved detection or stratification of a disease Continue reading

Shape matters in DNA nanoparticle therapy
ScienceDaily (Oct. 12, 2012) Researchers from Johns Hopkins and Northwestern universities have discovered how to control the shape of nanoparticles that move DNA through the body and have shown that the shapes of these carriers may make a big difference in how well they work in treating cancer and other diseases Continue reading
Removing hazardous substances from the air
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are carbon-based compounds, many of which are hazardous to humans’ health. EU-funded researchers coordinated efforts to apply nanotechnology to the capture and sequestration of these compounds Continue reading
Scientist unlocks the quantum secrets of the moon's bizarre soil, which hangs suspended above the surface when touched
Soil would hang above the surface, withstand heat – and would stick to astronauts like glue By Eddie Wrenn PUBLISHED: 02:51 EST, 20 June 2012 | UPDATED: 05:44 EST, 20 June 2012 A soil scientist has uncovered the mechanics behind some of the weird properties of lunar soil. Continue reading
Synthetic nano-waste does not disappear
Non-degradable nanoparticles bind to solid residues resulting from the incineration of waste and thus can find their way into the environment. Continue reading
Nanoparticles may pose environmental threat
(ISNS) — No longer the stuff of science fiction, nanoparticles are becoming more and more common. The extremely tiny objects can do just about everything, from filtering pollution to delivering medicine in the body Continue reading
