Using nanoparticles designed to recognize specific sugar-binding molecules on the surfaces of cells, a team of investigators at Michigan State University has developed a process that uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to unlock the sugar-based code that identifies different types of cancer and normal cells.
If one nanoparticle is good, two may be better, especially when they are designed to cooperate with each other to diagnose and treat cancer. That finding comes from work led by Michael Sailor, Ph.D., a member of the Cent...
Virtually every patient diagnosed with breast cancer or melanoma undergoes lymph node biopsy to determine if their cancer has begun spreading in the body. Taking this biopsy involves an invasive and uncomfortable procedu...
The surest cure for cancer is to remove every last bit of a tumor through surgery. Unfortunately, for most cancers that is also the most difficult approach because of two problems: it is nearly impossible today to spot e...
An international team of scientists, with Spanish participation, has shown for the first time that living organisms are able to manufacture biominerals with organisation of up to eight levels.
The research focused on...
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/02b86a/advances_in_polyme) has announced the addition of Woodhead Publishing Ltd's new report "Advances in Polymer Processing: From Macro- to Nano- Scales"...
Imagine packing skis into a suitcase, skis that never need wax or skis that hold a perfect line in all snow conditions.
That's just what University of Nevada, Reno students in Kam K. Leang's mechanical engine...
In findings that took the experimenters three years to believe, University of Michigan engineers and their collaborators have demonstrated that light itself can twist ribbons of nanoparticles.
A team of McGill Chemistry Department researchers led by Dr. Hanadi Sleiman has achieved a major breakthrough in the development of nanotubes - tiny "magic bullets" that could one day deliver drugs to specific ...
Scientists at the University of Glasgow have devised a molecular 'LEGO toolkit' which can be used to assemble a vast number of new and functional chemical compounds.
