For many cancer patients, chemotherapy can be worse than cancer itself. A patient may respond to one drug but not another, or the tumor may mutate and stop responding to the drug, resulting in months of wasted time, inef...
These objects are all chiral - they cannot exactly superimpose their mirror image by translation or rotation. A common example of this is human hands - a right hand cannot superimpose itself into its mirror image, a left...
Rapid, easy and affordable tests for cancer and avian flu and other infectious diseases move a step closer to patients as DYAMED Biotech Pte Ltd licenses a unique all-in-one automated diagnostic system called MicroKit fr...
Hollow gold nanospheres equipped with a targeting peptide find melanoma cells, penetrate them deeply, and then cook the tumor when bathed with near-infrared light, a research team led by scientists at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center reported in the Feb. 1 issue of Clinical Cancer Research.
Engineers at the University of California at San Diego have come up with a way to help accelerate bone growth through the use of nanotubes and stem cells. This new finding could lead to quicker and better recovery, for example, for patients who undergo orthopedic surgery.
Senator Kim Carr, Minister for Innovation, Industry, Science and Research today released the annual report for the Australian National Nanotechnology Strategy.

Much debate has surrounded the mostly unknown function of non-coding RNAs, which have recently been shown to constitute a surprisingly large proportion of gene transcripts, rather than encoding proteins. Now, as reported in Nature*, a research team led by Kunihiro Ohta of the RIKEN Advanced Science Institute, Wako, has discovered a new role for such non-coding RNAs in gene expression in the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
Nanobiotix, an emerging nanomedicine company, announced today that it will collaborate with, among others, Philips, Erasmus University Medical Center (The Netherlands), the University of Münster (Germany) and the Un...
A new way of making LEDs could see household lighting bills reduced by up to 75% within five years. Gallium Nitride (GaN), a man-made semiconductor used to make LEDs (light emitting diodes), emits brilliant light but uses very little electricity. Until now high production costs have made GaN lighting too expensive for wide spread use in homes and offices.
Two University of Queensland scientists have been awarded National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Australia Fellowships valued at a total of $8 million.
The Fellowships, announced today, will focus on im...
