Nanotechnology Enables Safe Delivery of Reformulated TNF-alpha to Cancer Cells

The protein tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is a powerful weapon in the arsenal to control cancer. Unfortunately, as is the case with many potent cancer therapies, the use of TNF-alpha as an anti-cancer therapy has been severely limited. “It was so toxic that it caused death,” and researchers gave up on it, explains Scott McNeil, director of the Nanotechnology Characterization Lab at the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research.

$Metamaterial with Nanocrescent Atoms Exhibits Negative Refractive Index in Multiple Spectrum Regions$

Metamaterial with Nanocrescent Atoms Exhibits Negative Refractive Index in Multiple Spectrum Regions

One of the exciting possibilities of metamaterials – engineered materials that exhibit properties not found in the natural world – is the potential to control light in ways never before possible. The novel optical properties of such materials could lead to a "perfect lens" that allows direct observation of an individual protein in a light microscope or, conversely, invisibility cloaks that completely hide objects from sight.
