MIT engineers have devised a way to rapidly test hundreds of different drug-delivery vehicles in living animals, making it easier to discover promising new ways to deliver a class of drugs called biologics, which includes antibodies, peptides, RNA, and DNA, to human patients.
Extremely early detection of cancers and other diseases is on the horizon with a supersensitive nanodevice being developed at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) in collaboration with The Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering (JSNN) in Greensboro, NC.
Platelets are an expensive biomedical commodity. These microscopic cells that come to the rescue when our blood vessels need to be repaired cannot be frozen and are stable for only three to five days at room temperature.
When the body forms new tissues during the healing process, cells must be able to communicate with each other. For years, scientists believed this communication happened primarily through chemical signaling. Now researchers at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh have found that another dimension – mechanical communication – is equally if not more crucial.
Research by Rice University scientists who are fighting a cyberwar against cancer finds that the immune system may be a clinician's most powerful ally.
Liquidia Technologies today announced it will present an overview of the unique capabilities of its PRINT® (Particle Replication In Non-Wetting Templates) technology at the Nano Manufacturing 2014 Conference being held September 24 at the Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering (JSNN) in Greensboro, NC. The inaugural Nano Manufacturing Conference was held in 2013 and brought together a broad representation of businesses, academia and government.
Being able to track individual biomolecules and observe them at work is every biochemist’s dream. This would enable the scientists to research in detail and better understand the workings of the nanomachines of life, such as ribosomes and DNA polymerases. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light have taken a big step closer to this goal.
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have created a small scale “hydrogen generator” that uses light and a two-dimensional graphene platform to boost production of the hard-to-make element.
For most people biofilms conjure up images of slippery stones in a streambed and dirty drains. While there are plenty of "bad" biofilms around – they even cause pesky dental plaque and a host of other more serious medical problems – a team at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University sees biofilms as a robust new platform for designer nanomaterials that could clean up polluted rivers, manufacture pharmaceutical products, fabricate new textiles, and more.
Genisphere LLC, provider of the 3DNA® nanotechnology platform, reported today it has closed $2 million in private funding from existing investors, including Corporate Fuel Partners, a New York fund. This round of fundraising will accelerate Genisphere's targeted drug delivery initiative, following key milestones including the company's demonstration of cell-specific (cytosolic and nuclear) delivery of drugs with functional intracellular effects without apparent toxicity.
