Selecta Biosciences, Inc., a clinical stage biotechnology company developing a novel class of targeted antigen-specific immune tolerance treatments, today announced that data from a pre-clinical proof of concept study in Factor VIII-deficient mice were presented in a poster presentation at the 2013 American Society for Hematology (ASH) International Conference in New Orleans.
A UConn research team has found a way to stabilize hemoglobin, the oxygen carrier protein in the blood, a discovery that could lead to the development of stable vaccines and affordable artificial blood substitutes.
Officials at NanCogenics announced today that Co-Founder and Professor of Molecular and Cellular Oncology at the University of Texas M D Anderson Cancer Center, Jim Klostergaard, has accepted an invitation to present a Keynote Forum address at the 3rd International Conference on Nanotek and Expo, being held in Las Vegas, NV, December 2 – 4. Dr. Klostergaard’s lecture is titled, The Magnetic Localization of Drug-Loaded Nanoparticles for Tumor Therapy: Pre-Clinical Validation.
Over 400 scientists worldwide will converge in Singapore for the 3rd Nano Today Conference which will be held at the Biopolis on December 9 to 11, 2013. Organized by Nano Today, a leading journal for nanoscience and nanotechnology, the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN) and Elsevier, the three-day conference will showcase the latest research advances in nanostructured materials and systems for diverse applications in areas such as biomedical, electronic, chemical and energy.
NanoViricides, Inc. (the "Company") reports that it has received results of detailed lab analysis studies from the initial non-GLP toxicology studies of intravenously administered FluCide™. No overt adverse safety and toxicology effects were observed in this study of the Company’s optimized FluCide broad-spectrum anti-influenza drug candidate, even at the maximum feasible dose level. These results are consistent with the preliminary findings of this study that the Company has previously reported, and provide greater details of the safety of FluCide.
A nanorobot is a popular term for molecules with a unique property that enables them to be programmed to carry out a specific task. In collaboration with colleagues in Italy and the USA, researchers at Aarhus University have now taken a major step towards building the first nanorobot of DNA molecules that can encapsulate and release active biomolecules.
Nanosponges that soak up a dangerous pore-forming toxin produced by MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) could serve as a safe and effective vaccine against this toxin. This "nanosponge vaccine" enabled the immune systems of mice to block the adverse effects of the alpha-haemolysin toxin from MRSA—both within the bloodstream and on the skin. Nanoengineers from the University of California, San Diego described the safety and efficacy of this nanosponge vaccine in the December 1 issue of Nature Nanotechnology.
Finger pricks may soon be a thing of the past for diabetics. Researchers at Western New England University have created a breathalyzer that may help control blood sugar by measuring the amount of acetone in the breath.
BIND Therapeutics, Inc., a clinical-stage nanomedicine platform company developing targeted and programmable therapeutics called AccurinsTM, announced today that the company’s co-founders have published data demonstrating the successful engineering of targeted nanoparticles to cross biological barriers, such as the intestinal barrier, and enter the bloodstream, potentially broadening future therapeutic applications for BIND’s Medicinal Nanoengineering platform.
Pop a pill or be poked by a needle? Being able to orally deliver microscopic particles—know as nanoparticles—loaded with medicine is a simple, convenient way to treat patients for various diseases, such as cancer or diabetes.
