Study Highlights the Transit of Metal Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles During Pregnancy

According to Rutgers University scientists who study factors that cause low-birth-weight babies, inhaled nanoparticles—human-made specks so small they cannot be seen in conventional microscopes and found in thousands of everyday products—can cross a natural, protective layer that normally protects fetuses.

New, Highly Stable Nanostructures can Provide More Effective Cancer Medicine

For millennia, DNA has played a central role in storing each cell's genetic information and consists of strands with a specific sequence of four different building blocks. These DNA strands are copied by the cell at each cell division in an extremely well-orchestrated way, but amazingly, this sophisticated machinery is governed by very simple rules.
