Nanotechnology slows tumor growth by targeting the blood vessels feeding the tumor

Nanoparticles targeted to the growing blood vessels feeding tumors in rabbits shrank the tumors using far less chemotherapy drug than would have been required to shrink the tumors if the drug had been used alone.

Treating spinal cord injury with nanotechnology

Current capabilities in nanotechnology not only promise better vehicles for drug delivery, but also provide materials nanoengineered to promote specific tissue healing.

Nanotechnology provides an ultrasensitive, noninvasive molecular imaging system for living subjects

By combining Raman spectroscopy with surface-enhanced Raman scattering nanoparticles and single-walled carbon nanotubes, Stanford scientists have applied nanotechnology to develop an ultrasensitive, noninvasive molecular imaging system.

Silencing gene expression for cancer therapy through nanotechnology

For a review of three recent advances in using nanoparticles for siRNA anticancer therapy, provided by the National Cancer Institute’s Alliance for Nanotechnology in Cancer…

Nanotechnology device releases anticancer drugs inside cancer cells

Several types of human cancer cells were shown to take up the nanotech devices and were then killed when exposure to light released the drug from the nanoparticle into the surrounding cell.

Nanotechnology uses molecular motor to reveal presence of single DNA molecule

Nanotechnology may enable faster and more sensitive detection of disease by using a molecular motor to spin a gold nanorod in the presence of the right DNA molecule.

Nanomedical conference to feature advanced nanotechnology

There’s still time — barely — to plan to attend next week’s 1st Annual Unither Nanomedical & Telemedical Technology Conference in Quebec. Co-chair is Martine Rothblatt, PhD, of Unither Biotech. Speakers include these names familar to Foresight members, as well as many nearer-term topics: Tad Hogg, PhD — Member of the Research Staff: Hewlett-Packard Laboratories,… Continue reading Nanomedical conference to feature advanced nanotechnology

Nanotechnology copies biology to produce nanovalve for drug delivery

Researchers have combined several different nanotechnology techniques to introduce a switchable pore-forming protein into a stable polymeric nanocontainer.

Consistently manufactured drug delivery vehicles through nanotechnology

The use of nanotechnology in treating cancer took a step forward with the demonstration that at least one class of nanoparticles can be manufactured with enough consistency for clinical use.

Japan takes lead in medical nanorobots

It’s very early days as yet, but Japan is moving forward toward the goal of molecular-level machinery to control nanotechnology-based robotic devices for medicine. In the U.S. and Europe, the poorly-informed sometimes ridicule the prospect of such nanotech robots, but visionary goals are apparently okay in Japan. See the report and video at MSNBC from… Continue reading Japan takes lead in medical nanorobots
