Formulating an anticancer drug using nanotechnology eliminates toxic neurological side-effects

A nanotech formulation may have saved one of the most promising broad-spectrum antiangiogenesis cancer therapies from being side-tracked due to neurotoxic side effects.

'Cooking' cancer cells with nanotechnology

Antibody-coated carbon nanotubes only bind to cancer cells targeted by the antibody, and irradiation with near-infrared light causes the bound carbon nanotubes to heat up and kill the cancer cells.

Nanotechnology approach to drug delivery uses multifunctional nanoparticles to silence gene

A major nanotech advance in engineering multifunctional nanoparticles for imaging and therapeutic applications combines a short RNA (siRNA) to “silence” a specific gene with quantum dots and a “proton sponge” polymer coating to get the siRNA into the cell and released into the right compartment of the cell.

Must-see anti-aging event in LA this Friday

To live long enough to experience some of the more dramatic applications of nanotechnology, you may need anti-aging treatments. For all of us with an interest in longevity, the place to be starting at 4 PM this Friday, June 27, is UCLA for Aging 2008: At Aging 2008 you will engage with top scientists and… Continue reading Must-see anti-aging event in LA this Friday

Using nanotechnology to attract cells to regenerate cartilage

The combination of electrical stimulation and a nanotech surface composed of carbon nanotubes dispersed in polycarbonate urethane was found to attract cartilage-forming cells.

Stripes improve drug delivery using nanotechnology

MIT scientists are discovering what controls the proper movement of nanoparticles into cells—the right kinds of molecules must be arranged in the right patterns.

Artificial organelles: nanotechnology beyond simple drug delivery

The same nanotech approaches being explored to deliver drugs exactly to the cells where they are needed also provide a technology base that might lead to permanent enhancements of human metabolism.

Nanotechnology combines multiple molecules of drug to prevent HIV infection

Attaching 12 molecules of an HIV drug to a gold nanoparticle enabled the drug to prevent HIV infection in cultured patient cells.

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.
