New Visual Readout Method Enables Cell-Phone Camera to Quantify Single Nucleic-Acid Molecules

Diagnostic health care is often restricted in areas with limited resources, because the procedures required to detect many of the molecular markers that can diagnose diseases are too complex or expensive to be used outside of a central laboratory.

Researchers Make Images of NanoLayer Beneath Droplet When It Impacts on Surface

Water droplets on a very hot plate don’t evaporate but levitate and move around: this is known as the Leidenfrost effect and it always guarantees beautiful images. For the first time, researchers of the Physics of Fluids group of the University of Twente (MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology) have made images of the tiny layer beneath the droplet, when it impacts on the surface.

Scientists Find Some Carbon Nanomaterials can Enter Immune Cell Membranes and Go Undetected

Scientists at the University of Michigan have found evidence that some carbon nanomaterials can enter into immune cell membranes, seemingly going undetected by the cell's built-in mechanisms for engulfing and disposing of foreign material, and then escape through some unidentified pathway.

TAU Researchers Offer Hope of a Therapeutic Pathway to Inhibit Tumor Growth

Osteosarcoma is a cancer present in the bones of adolescents and children. Considered an aggressive cancer, Osteosarcoma has only a 15 per cent, five-year survival rate when detected in an advanced metastatic stage. Every year in the US there are about 800 new cases of osteosarcoma with no suitable treatment.

New Study Results on Nanomedicine Induced Pseudoallergy Phenomenon CARPA

Keywords such as nano-, personalized-, or targeted medicine sound like bright future. What most people do not know, is that nanomedicines can cause severe undesired effects for actually being too big! Those modern medicines easily achieve the size of viruses which the body potentially recognizes as foreign starting to defend itself against - a sometimes severe immune response unfolds.

Researchers Develop Chiral Graphene Stacks to Produce Atomic-Scale Large Area Films

Non-superimposable mirror images of each other, such as hands and feet, are referred to as chiral objects. One image is clearly right-handed, and the other is left-handed. A ball and a basic drinking glass are some examples of achiral objects, which means the object and its mirror image look the same.
