Nanotechnology builds artificial virus for possible therapeutic use

Filament-shaped artificial viruses show promise in delivering genetic materials and other molecules into cultured human cells.

Nanotechnology proposed for real-time monitoring of biohazard infections

Current nanotech capabilities have been incorporated into a proposed architecture for medical nanorobots to control epidemic diseases.

Nanotechnology could revolutionize diagnostics

A nanotech barcode could revolutionize medical diagnostics by providing a very sensitive method of counting individual messenger RNA molecules.

Nanotechnology makes radiation therapy of cancer more effective

A nanotech approach to overcoming the resistance of some cancer cells to radiation therapy has been successfully tested in mice.

Nanotechnology produces material to almost instantly stop bleeding

In an application of nanotechnology to medicine, a nanotech material has been produced that self-assembles in the presence of bodily fluids into highly hydrated fibers that stop bleeding within 15 seconds.

Nanotechnology online: gamers invited to aid protein design

Can online gamers add to the nanotech toolkit for perfecting the de novo design of proteins that do not exist in nature?

Nanotechnology provides worm-like structures to gang up on cancer cells

Researchers have joined about eight nanoparticles together to make nanostructures resembling segmented worms, and find these survive many hours.

Nanotechnology to kill bacteria OK in hospitals but suspect in commercial products

There is hope that nanotechnology in the form of silver nanoparticles will provide protection against drug-resistant bacteria in hospitals, but there is also concern that unregulated use of silver nanoparticles in commercial products will damage the environment.

Core-shell nanoparticles reveal how nanotechnology can improve cancer drug delivery

Studies of how molecules are released from nanoparticles when they encounter cancer cells and of how the nanoparticles break down prematurely while circulating in the blood point toward ways to improve the nanotech delivery of therapeutic drugs into cancer cells.

Nanotechnology encapsulation delivers RNA interference agents 10-fold more effectively

RNA interference (RNAi) is a way to decrease expression of a specific gene without otherwise affecting the cell, and it therefore could be a very promising treatment for a wide variety of diseases—if it could be reliably delivered into the diseased cell cytoplasm. One possible nanotech solution to this problem takes the form of a… Continue reading Nanotechnology encapsulation delivers RNA interference agents 10-fold more effectively
