Tiny ‘Nanopore’ Scanners for Early Diagnosis of Cancer Biomarkers

Using tiny “nanopore” scanners that can detect individual DNA molecules, Professor Amit Meller and colleagues are on the hunt for biological markers in cancer cells that may help clinicians diagnose colorectal and lung cancers at their earliest stages.

Nanoporous Gold Sponge Detects Pathogens Faster

A team of researchers from University of California, Davis has proved that nucleic acids can be detected using nanoporous gold, a unique sensor coating material, in a mixture containing other biomolecules, thus beating most of the currently used detectors.

Multiphoton Microscope Reveals How Immune Cells Engage in Coordinated Behavior to Wipe Out Flu Viruses

Much like birds fly in flocks to conserve energy, dolphins swim in pods to mate and find food, and colonies of ants create complex nests to protect their queens, immune cells engage in coordinated behavior to wipe out viruses like the flu.

Investigational New Drug for PH1 Treatment Formulated in Proprietary Lipid Nanoparticle Technology

Dicerna Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a leading developer of RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutics, today announced the submission of an investigational new drug (IND) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for DCR-PH1, the company's therapeutic candidate for the treatment of primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1). PH1 is a severe, rare, inherited disorder of the liver that often results in kidney failure and for which there are no approved therapies.

Novel Nanoparticle Drug Can Minimize Impact of Sepsis and ARDS in Critically Ill Patients

Scientists at Queen’s University Belfast are developing a potential revolutionary new treatment for Sepsis and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), which are among the leading causes of death in hospitalised patients in the UK. Currently, there are no effective treatments available for these life threatening syndromes.

Nanoparticle Chemical Viruses Deliver Drugs to Cells

Viruses are able to redirect the functioning of cells in order to infect them. Inspired by their mode of action, scientists from the CNRS and Université de Strasbourg have designed a "chemical virus" that can cross the double lipid layer that surrounds cells, and then disintegrate in the intracellular medium in order to release active compounds.
