Nano Labs Corp. is pleased to report that Dr. Victor Castano, Chief Innovations Officer of Nano Labs, presented "A nanotechnology approach to immunology: challenges and opportunities." at the Target Meeting ("TM") 2nd World Immunology Online Conference.
The promise of repairing damaged hearts through regenerative medicine — infusing stem cells into the heart in the hope that these cells will replace worn out or damaged tissue — has yet to meet with clinical success. But a highly sensitive visualization technique developed by Stanford University School of Medicine scientists may help speed that promise’s realization.
Dr. Jennifer Simpson, a researcher at the University of California, Irvine, who is working on integrating current nanofabrication technologies with controlled drug delivery strategies in an effort to develop a new, sustained release treatment for corneal cystinosis, will be honored at the upcoming Natalie's Wish fundraiser for the Cystinosis Research Foundation.
2012 continued to see major advances that were enabled by nanotechnology. In medicine in particular the delivery methods wrapped within nanoparticles have advanced many new and traditional drugs further along the clinical trial pipeline. Nano-engineering has also increased its grip on semiconductor manufacturing, and a multitude of quality control subsystems.
A multicenter team of researchers, including scientists at Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC), Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH), Mount Sinai School of Medicine, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has developed biodegradable nanoparticles that are capable of delivering inflammation-resolving drugs to sites of tissue injury.
Novavax, Inc. reported that David C. Flyer, Ph.D., Director of Preclinical Development at Novavax, presented recent preclinical findings from the company's respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine development program at the XV International Symposium on Respiratory Viral Infections in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
Inflammation is the body's natural defense mechanism against invading organisms and tissue injury. In acute inflammation, the pathogen or inflammatory mediators are cleared away and homeostasis is reached, however in chronic inflammatory states, this resolving response is impaired, leading to chronic inflammation and tissue damage.
In the military, collateral damage means innocent civilians dying. In medicine, it means side effects – and that can mean death for the patient.
Cedars-Sinai Medical Center will commemorate Brain Awareness Week, March 11-17, with educational programs featuring robotic technology that enables doctors to check on their patients from home, stem cell research that may revolutionize many medical therapies, and some of the top experts in nanotechnology – including Roger Tsien, PhD, who received the 2008 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
Neuroscience has come a long way since the Roman physician Galen prodded gladiators' head wounds and surmised that the brain, and not the heart, was the home of human intelligence. Nowadays, scientists can create three-dimensional maps of intact neuronal networks, observe individual neurons firing in real time within animals, and even control how those neurons fire using a technique that involves gene therapy and lasers.
