Nanoparticles reduce tumors in clinical trial

Clinical trials in patients with advanced or metastatic tumors using targeted nanoparticles to deliver a standard chemotherapeutic drug showed tumor shrinkage, even in the case of cancers for which that drug is not normally effective.

Nanotechnology-based sensor does rapid reads of single DNA molecule

A combination of a molecular motor protein and a nanopore protein has been harnessed for rapidly sequencing single DNA molecules.

Nanotechnology regrows blood vessels after ischemic damage

In a rat model of ischemic damage, nanoparticle delivery of a growth factor and a coreceptor promotes regrowth of damaged blood vessels in seven days.

Faster, less expensive medical diagnostics through nanotechnology

New protein repellent coating enhances the speed of carbon nanotube-based biosensors, pointing the way to faster, cheaper medical diagnostics.

DNA nanotechnology-based nanorobot delivers cell suicide message to cancer cells

Functioning DNA nanorobots to deliver specific molecular signals to cells were designed by combining DNA origami, DNA aptamers, and DNA logic gates.

Nanotechnology, digital fabrication, and innovation at TED

A talk at TEDxBerkeley includes nanotechnology among the options for digital fabrication, one of five new rules of innovation.

Nanotechnology, DNA sequencing, and personalized medicine

Artist’s conception of a nanopore drilled into a layer of graphene to speed up DNA sequencing. One of the greatest promises of near-term nanotechnoloogy is cheaper DNA sequencing to speed the development of personalized medicine. There are not only genetic differences between different patients, but also genetic differences between, for example, different cancers of the… Continue reading Nanotechnology, DNA sequencing, and personalized medicine

Foresight co-founder among panelists discussing role of technology in human existence

Human life after advanced nanotechnology has been developed will be fundamentally different from life up until that point.

First Master's of Science in Nanomedicine degree program in US announced

The first Master’s of Science in Nanomedicine degree program in US is announced. As an example of the rapidly developing potential of nanomedicine, a novel type of nanoparticle succeeded in two different mouse models in destroying a type of brain cancer that had previously been completely resistant to all treatment attempts.
