... data is based on early reports of efficacy. In addition, she noted that when the skin is suctioned to remove oil, some patients complained that their pores actually appeared larger - possibly from the skin being stretched from the repeated suctioning. The other device approved by the FDA for the t...NanoBio Corporation Successfully Completes Phase 2b Study in Herpes Labialis
...emulsion composed of nanometer-sized droplets that employ a physical process to disrupt the outer lipid membrane of viruses. The droplets traverse the pores and hair follicles of the skin without disrupting normal tissues. These droplets accumulate in the epidermis and dermis where they interact directly w...New Topical Therapy Safely Treats Serious Skin Infections Without Systemic Side Effects
...nd throat. The nanoemulsion undergoes a high- energy process to shrink or "nano-size" the particles so they are small enough to enter the skin through pores and hair follicles but too large to penetrate the tight junctions of the epithelium. As a result, NB-002 is not systemically absorbed, as the phase 1...Osteomesh Bioresorbable Implant for Craniofacial Surgery
Description:...used in craniofacial surgery to repair various types of fractures, like the orbital floor fracture and to fill surgical defects. It has interconnected pores which allow rapid saturation with marrow, blood and nutrients, thus providing the patients own cells with chemical signals that are required for bone ...Optilene Mesh Elastic - Eleastic lightweight and large pore mesh
Description:...idirectional elasticity the mesh is able to adapt to all movements taking place in the abdominal wall. The new honeycomb like structure with the large pores enables for idealhealing and formation of an elastic scar. The mesh is ideal for incisional hernia repair and can also be used to repair inguinal he...SPARC™ Self-Fixating Sling System
Description:...ustment prior to tissue ingrowth. The sling supports the urethra during increased abdominal pressure (e.g., sneezing, coughing or laughing). The large pores of the mesh promote tissue integration for healing....Egg-Shaped Bioceramic Orbital Implants
Description:... Egg-Shaped Bioceramic orbital implants insert easily into orbital socket and will not cling to surrounding tissue. Improved interconnectivity between pores enhances vascularization. Implants may be easily drilled without crumbling....Researchers solve mystery of how nuclear pores duplicate before cell division
Researchers have long wondered how nuclear pores ?the all-important channels that control the flow of information in and out of a cell's nucleus ?double in number to prepare for the split to come when a cell divides. Now, for the first time, scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies w...Carnegie donates landmark clones to biology
... membrane surface in plants. In this study they focused on the underlying mechanism of the pore activity by using mutant proteins that cannot shut the pores off with their C-terminus to see how they work in yeast and immature eggs of the frog Xenopus in the presence of ammonium. The researchers were ...Ozone, nitrogen change the way rising CO2 affects Earth's water
...increased. Other studies have shown that increasing CO2 is changing how plant "pores," or stomata, discharge water. With elevated CO2 levels, leaf pores contract and sometimes close to conserve internal water reserves. This "stomatal conductance" response increases water use efficiency and reduces the ...How mitochondria get their membranes bent
...e c, for example, an important signaling protein in programmed cell death (apoptosis), is stored in this compartment. When apoptosis is triggered, the pores enlarge and cytochrome c is released into the cytosol. Thus, understanding of how the pore diameter and the shape of the inner membrane are regulated ...Salt block unexpectedly stretches in Sandia experiments
...ck of salt can stretch rather than remain inert might affect world desalination efforts, which involve choosing particular sizes of nanometer-diameter pores to strain salts from brackish water. Understanding unexpected salt deformations also may lead to better understanding of sea salt aerosols, implicated...Protein that triggers plant cell division revealed by researchers

The epidermis of Arabidopsis contains small pores called stomata that allow the plant to breathe and these stomata are generated by asymmetric cell divisions. The three researchers have written a pap...Rapid heating prepares energy-saving zeolite for greater role in industrial separations

Inside a quartz furnace his group grew pillars of electron-rich cadmium sulfide on aluminum foil, in which geometrically distributed pores made by anodization served as a template. In the same furnace they submerged the nanopillars, once grown, in a thin layer of hole-rich cadmium tel...New Danish research shows how oil gets stuck underground

...s from sunlight and transfer it to titanium dioxide, creating electricity," Rorrer said. "But in this system the photons bounce around more inside the pores of the diatom shell, making it more efficient." The physics of this process, Rorrer said, are not fully understood but it clearly works. More so t...Safer nanoparticles spotlight tumors, deliver drugs

The cancer drug doxorubicin will stick to the pores and slowly escape as the silicon dissolves. "The goal is to use the nanoparticles to chaperone the drug directly to the tumor, to release it into ...
