Artificial platelet mimics developed by a research team from Case Western Reserve University and University of California, Santa Barbara, are able to halt bleeding in mouse models 65 percent faster than nature can on its own.
Researchers at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Pharmacy have developed a novel mucoadhesive hyaluronic acid (HA) nanofibre delivery system which could help to prevent the transmission of HIV.
Antibodies, in charge of recognizing and homing in on molecular targets, are among the most useful tools in biology and medicine. Nanobodies – antibodies' tiny cousins – can do the same tasks, for example marking molecules for research or flagging diseased cells for destruction. But, thanks to their comparative simplicity nanobodies offer the tantalizing prospect of being much easier to produce.
Australian biopharmaceutical company Specialised Therapeutics Australia (STA) is pleased to announce ABRAXANE® (nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel) in combination with gemcitabine, will be reimbursed via the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) for patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer from 1 November.
BIND Therapeutics, Inc., a clinical-stage nanomedicine platform company developing targeted and programmable therapeutics called AccurinsTM, announced the online availability of an abstract providing preliminary data from the Q3W arm of its ongoing Phase 2 study of BIND-014 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Novavax, Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of recombinant nanoparticle vaccines and adjuvants, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track Designation to Novavax' H7N9 Virus-Like Particle Vaccine Candidate (H7N9 VLP) adjuvanted with Matrix-M™.

Freiburg researchers decipher the role of nanostructures around brain cells in central nervous system function
Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have developed a new strategy that they say could detect bladder cancer with more accuracy and sensitivity than standard endoscopy methods. Endoscopy refers to a procedure in which surgeons use an instrument equipped with a lens to see inside the patient.
NaturalNano, Inc. announced today the formation of its ViralProtec Division to service the growing demand for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). The recent public concern and publicity surrounding the increased risk to caregivers and other responders created by the Ebola virus as well as other public health concerns has raised awareness of the need for additional precautionary steps for those dealing with these issues.
The custom technologies arm of Molecular Devices, a leader in bioanalytical systems for drug discovery, life science research, and bioassay development, has partnered with the Discovery Technologies team at the Roche Innovation Center Basel of Pharma Research and Early Development (pRED) to develop a high-throughput detection system for drug discovery screens employing Roche's proprietary Ruthenium-based nanosecond time resolved fluorescence (Nano-TRF®) assays.
