Nanomedicine Gives the Way for Nerve Cell Regeneration

...niversity of Miami , researchers show how magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) may be used to create mechanical tension th...pproach designed that includes the use of magnetic nanoparticles and magnetic fields for addressing the challenges associated with regeneration of central nervous sy...

Now Fingerprints can Be Used to Detect Drugs and Diseases Instead of Blood Samples

...t the fingerprints with a solution containing gold nanoparticles to which cotinine-specific antibodies were attached. These bind to the cotinine. Subsequently, a second antibody, which was tagged with a fluorescent dye and binds specifically to cotinine antibodies, was applied to the fingerprint. Because there are...

Adherence of Nanoparticles to RBC- Very Effective Drug Delivery Method

...ifornia, have discovered that attaching polymeric nanoparticles to the surface of red blood cells dramatically inc...n vivo lifetime of the nanoparticles. Polymeric nanoparticles are excellent carriers for delivering drugs. They protect drugs from degradation until they reach th...

Novel Method to Inhibit Prostate Cancer

...s -- nanoemulsions, liposomes (fatty droplets) and nanoparticles -- have shown great potential as delivery systems for an increasing number of active molecules. Although capable of enhanced accumulation in the target tissue, these carriers cannot achieve their missions unless specific binding agents are attached...

Buckyball Has the Ability to Fight Against Allergy: Research

...ture experiments. Buckyballs, or fullerenes, are nanoparticles containing 60 carbon atoms. Owing to their exclusive structure, unresponsiveness and steadiness, researchers from a number of scientific fields have been investigating the tiny, hollow carbon cages to serve a variety of functions. In this study, re...
