DNA nanotechnology provides detailed monitoring of single cells

DNA nanotechnology provides cell-surface sensors for real-time monitoring of single cells, including potential use in personalized medicine to test which drugs would be suitable for which individuals.

Nanotechnology therapy for head and neck cancer shows promise

A nanotechnology therapy using targeted dendrimers shows promise against head and neck cancer in experiments in which human tumors are implanted into immunocompromised mice.

First synthetic organ transplant made possible by nanotechnology

The world’s first synthetic organ transplant was a replica windpipe made from a nanocomposite scaffold seeded with the patient’s own adult stem cells.

Nanotechnology provides patch to regenerate heart tissue

Carbon nanofibers and a polymer were combined to create a composite to regenerate natural heart tissue.

Medical nanorobots win poll on engineering's Next Big Thing

A poll of NewScientist readers selected medical nanorobots as the technology that will have the biggest impact on human life in the next 30 years.

'Good Cholesterol' nanoparticles silence cancer-promoting genes and destroy cancer cells

‘Good Cholesterol’ nanoparticles are non-toxic and use the need of cancer cells for HDL cholesterol to deliver RNA molecules to silence the expression of cancer-promoting genes.

Nanotechnology promises low-cost method to squash superbugs

Novel biodegradable nanoparticles destroy membranes of drug-resistant ‘superbugs’ without harming blood cell membranes.

Time magazine cover article on the Singularity, Ray Kurzweil, AI and nanotechnology

A cover article in Time magazine portrays the Singularity, Ray Kurzweil, AI, life extension, and nanotechnology as “an idea that rewards sober, careful evaluation.”

Nanotechnology powers rapid drug delivery by nanoparticles

Catalytic nanomotors deliver nanoparticles containing drugs a thousand fold faster than do nanoparticles transported by Browninan motion.

Synergistic benefit of using nanotechnology to simultaneously deliver two anticancer agents

Nanoparticles that deliver two anticancer agents simultaneously kill cancer cells more effectively than nanoparticles delivering the agents separately.
