COBRA PzF Stent System with Polyzene-F Nano-Thin Coating Safe for Heart Disease Treatment

CeloNova BioSciences, Inc., today announced results from a First-in-Man (FIM) clinical trial presented by Luc Maillard, MD PhD, at the prestigious French Cardiology Meeting, GRCI, held in Paris, France. In his presentation entitled, “First-in-man expérience avec le stent Cobra-PzF, utilisant un nano-coating,” Dr. Maillard concluded that the COBRA PzF™ coronary stent system with advanced nano-thin coating of Polyzene™-F polymer can be a safe and effective interventional treatment for real-world and complex patients with heart disease.

Fast Pulsed Magnetic Fields Help Focus Nano-Therapeutic Magnetic Particles to Deep Targets

Recent efforts between the University of Maryland (UMD) and Bethesda-based Weinberg Medical Physics LLC (WMP) have led to a new technique to magnetically deliver drug-carrying particles to hard-to-reach targets. The method has the potential to transform the way deep-tissue tumors and other diseases are treated.

Nanomimics of Host Cell Membranes can Trick Malaria Parasites

Malaria parasites invade human red blood cells, they then disrupt them and infect others. Researchers at the University of Basel and the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute have now developed so-called nanomimics of host cell membranes that trick the parasites. This could lead to novel treatment and vaccination strategies in the fight against malaria and other infectious diseases. Their research results have been published in the scientific journal ACS Nano.

Hybrid Chemical/Genetic Therapy Helps Blind Mice Regain Light Sensitivity

A new genetic therapy not only helped blind mice regain enough light sensitivity to distinguish flashing from non-flashing lights, but also restored light response to the retinas of dogs, setting the stage for future clinical trials of the therapy in humans.
