• Nanotechnology helps track and improve drug action in pancreatic cancer

  UK and Australian scientists have been able to show ways in which we can markedly improve drug targeting of solid tumours, using tiny 'biosensors' along with new advanced imaging techniques. In real time and in three dimensions, these technologies can show us how cancers spread and how active cancer more

• New method of mass-producing high-quality DNA molecules

  A new method of manufacturing short, single-stranded DNA molecules can solve many of the problems associated with current production methods. The new method, which is described in the scientific periodical Nature Methods, can be of value to both DNA nanotechnology and the development of drugs consis more

• Europe’s environment now healthier – but new risks emerging

  Europeans live longer and healthier lives than in the past, partly due to successful environmental policies that have reduced the exposure to harmful environmental contaminants in air, water and food, according to a new report. However, these contaminants are still a problem, and several new health more

• Dynamic Light Scattering - an Important Tool for Protein Crystallography and Nanotechnology
  

  Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) is an established technique in the field of protein crystallography. DLS is used to measure hydrodynamic sizes, polydispersities and aggregation effects of protein samples. These are important parameters for the crystallisation of proteins. DLS is also used in the nanotechnology research for the accurate and fast size measurement of nanoparticles made of different materials. more

• Structural and Chemical 3D Imaging with AFM and Raman.
  

  In the Life Sciences and Bio-medical Research, the characterization of chemical compounds within cells or tissues is one of the most important and difficult tasks for researchers to perform. The development of pharmaceuticals such as drug delivery coatings or capsules also requires as much information as possible about their chemical and structural compositions. For the fields of nanotechnology and materials science, a thorough knowledge of the samples' surface morphology on a sub-micron scale is essential more

• Cancer Antibody Enhanced Real Time Imaging Cell Probes a Novel Theranostic Tool using Polymer Linked Carbon Nanotubes and Quantum Dots

  Abstract: Background: Cancer is a potentially fatal diagnosis, but due to modern medicine there is a potential cure in many of these cases. The rate of treatment success depends on early disease detection and timely, effective delivery of tumour specific treatment. There are many ongoing re more

• Fabrication of 14 different RNA nanoparticles for specific tumor targeting without accumulation in normal organs [ARTICLES]

  Due to structural flexibility, RNase sensitivity, and serum instability, RNA nanoparticles with concrete shapes for in vivo application remain challenging to construct. Here we report the construction of 14 RNA nanoparticles with solid shapes for targeting cancers specifically. These RNA nanopartic more

• Toxicity assessment of manganese oxide micro and nanoparticles in Wistar rats after 28 days of repeated oral exposure

  ABSTRACT In the near future, nanotechnology is envisaged for large‐scale use. Hence health and safety issues of nanoparticles (NPs) should be promptly addressed. Twenty‐eight‐day oral toxicity, genotoxicity, biochemical alterations, histopathological changes and tissue distribution of nano and m more
