Phase two clinical trials at UT Southwestern Medical Center revealed that a suspension of gold nanocrystals taken daily by patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) significantly reversed deficits in metabolites linked to energy activity in the brain, resulting in functional improvements.
Researchers from the University of Waterloo have developed a new hydrogel made from cellulose nanocrystals derived from wood pulp, which mimics human tissue properties and could be used to heal damaged heart tissue and improve cancer treatments through personalized therapies using tumor organoids.
Disrupting the acidic “microenvironment” of a tumor without causing injury to normal tissue is a novel method of tumor elimination discovered by a diverse research team at Vanderbilt University and Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
A multidisciplinary group of researchers at Cornell University has discovered a novel method for using the antibacterial and antioxidant characteristics of botanical compound lawsone to create cotton bandages coated with nanofibers that prevent infection and promote faster wound healing.
For the past 20 years, researchers have been creating nanoparticles from DNA strands by modifying the connections that keep DNA in its double-helical form. This allows them to create self-assembling molecules which could one day have astounding therapeutic uses.
Large-scale, long-term recordings of the activity of individual brain neurons are essential for improving our knowledge of neural circuits, developing new medical device-based treatments, and, eventually, developing brain-computer interfaces that need high-resolution electrophysiological data.
Surprisingly, the modest membranes that encapsulate the cells possess the ability to repel approaching nano-sized molecules.
Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania, led by Michael Mitchell, are now breaking through the blood-brain barrier, a long-standing biological barrier.
The first selective treatment to stop allergic responses has been created by Northwestern University researchers. These reactions can range in severity from watery eyes and itchy hives to breathing difficulties and even death.
A recent study published in Nature Nanotechnology describes how urea-powered nanorobots helped a research team shrink the growth of bladder tumors in mice by 90%.
