• Carbon nanotubes give cancer drugs a boost

  Carbon-based nanomaterials have been found to enhance the ability of the anti-cancer drug Paclitaxel to treat of lung cancer. Both graphene oxide and single-walled carbon nanotubes were found to enhance cancer-cell death in lung-cancer cells when combined with the Paclitaxel, indicating a synergisti more

• Why carbon nanotubes spell trouble for cells
  

  It's been long known that asbestos spells trouble for human cells. Scientists have seen cells stabbed with spiky, long asbestos fibers, and the image is gory: Part of the fiber is protruding from the cell, like a quivering arrow that's found its mark.But scientists had been unable to understand why more

• MIT researchers create new self-assembling photovoltaic technology that repairs itself

  Plants are good at doing what scientists and engineers have been struggling to do for decades: converting sunlight into stored energy, and doing so reliably day after day, year after year. Now some MIT scientists have succeeded in mimicking a key aspect of that process. One of the problems with har more

• Field-Flow Fractionation - The Universal Separation Principle for Particle and Macromolecule Characterization
  

  High molecular weight polymers, bio molecules or particles in a range of a few nanometers up to several microns are more and more important in science and technology. Many applications are based on the specific properties of these materials. For this reason, an exact knowledge of the molar mass or particle sizes distribution is essential for later application as well as for optimization of the production processes or quality control. In addition the knowledge about the chain structure of macromolecules or biopolymers as well as about the shape of particles is often necessary. For this reason those samples, which often can be very complex systems, have to be separated according to parameters such as e.g. hydrodynamic volume or molecular weight. After the separation process the resulting narrow dispersed fractions are detected with different techniques. more

• Systematic Analysis of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube-Induced Cellular Signaling and Gene Expression in Human Small Airway Epithelial Cells

  Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) are one of the most commonly produced nanomaterials, and pulmonary exposure during production, use, and disposal is a concern for the developing nanotechnology field. The airway epithelium is the first line of defense against inhaled particles. In a mouse model, more

• Preosteoblasts behavior in contact with single‐walled carbon nanotubes synthesized by radio frequency induction thermal plasma using various catalysts

  ABSTRACT The influence of single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) produced by radio frequency (RF) induction thermal plasma with three catalyst mixtures (Ni‐Co‐Y2O3, Ni‐Y2O3 and Ni‐Mo‐Y2O3) was evaluated on the behavior of murine MC3T3‐E1 preosteoblasts. After analyzing SWCNTs properties, mitoch more

• Folate‐Conjugated PEG on Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes for Targeting Delivery of Doxorubicin to Cancer Cells

  Abstract A highly effective drug carrier is constructed by coating folic acid‐terminated poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG‐FA) on single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in a facile non‐covalent method. The anti‐cancer drug, doxorubicin (DOX), is further loaded on the surface of SWNTs at a very high loa more
