Over the years, there have been many efforts to use antioxidants to prevent or help treat various diseases and aging. While reactive oxygen species (ROS), can damage and kill cells - these molecules have also been implicated in normal biochemical processes.
The Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) and Nikon Instruments Inc. jointly announce a new partnership under the BIO Business Solutions® offerings. Nikon Instruments is a world-renowned market leader in optical instrumentation and research microscope systems known for cutting edge digital imaging technology for biomedical research solutions.
DNA molecules don’t just code our genetic instructions. They can also conduct electricity and self-assemble into well-defined shapes, making them potential candidates for building low-cost nanoelectronic devices.
Researchers should have knowledge about how to refine and use synthetic materials that can tolerate industrial conditions to imitate the natural ability of proteins as catalysts, sensors, etc. A collaboration between researchers and Molecular Foundry staff, led to the discovery of a new design rule that regulates the way by which polymer building blocks combine to form the backbones that run along the length of small biomimetic sheets.
Nanosized Trojan horses formed from a patient’s immune cells have overcome the body’s complex defense mechanisms and effectively treated inflammation, potentially paving the way for broader applications for treating inflammatory diseases, like cardiovascular diseases and cancer.
Pioneering discoveries can come in tiny packages, and only few know this better than Ann-Marie Broome, Ph.D., who thinks nanotechnology is the future of the medical field with its capability to distribute potent drugs in small, designer packages.
While the study is purely fundamental, Igor Potemkin, Professor of the Chair of Polymer and Crystal Physics, Physics Department, the Lomonosov Moscow State University, claims that the development of specialized nano-capsules for targeted drug delivery can be achieved only on the basis of the system reported in recent years, and that the development of such nano-capsules would also be inexpensive.
Our current understanding of how the brain works is very poor. The electrical signals travel around the brain and throughout the body, and the electrical properties of the biological tissues are studied using electrophysiology. For acquiring a large amplitude and a high quality of neuronal signals, intracellular recording is a powerful methodology compared to extracellular recording to measure the voltage or current across the cell membranes.
A new and highly efficient technique has been developed for gene transfer by a group of researchers from the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) and the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT).
EPFL researchers have shown that a law of physics having to do with electron transport at nanoscale can also be analogously applied to the ion transport. This discovery provides insight into a key aspect of how ion channels function within our living cells.
