The deadly duo of nanotubes and antibodies that search and distroy breast cancer cells

A recent development in nano medicine opened a possible gateway in curing aggressive form of breast cancer that is killing millions around the world, the positive development in this filed came from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and its partners.
Nanotubes made of carbon cylinders about a nanometre in diameter which are [...]

Nanoparticle that can seek and destroy brain cancer cells

Scientists in Illionis are developing the fist ever  nanoparticle that can seek and destroy brain cancer cells without causing any damage to nearby cells.
The Studies shows that Titanium dioxide nanoparticles, witch are light sensitive particles which are used in sunscreens can destroy cancer cells when it is exposed to ultraviolet light. Even if it is [...]

Nanodiamond surface with PEI800 for biocompatibile gene therapy

Studies conducted by Northwestern researchers are showing us that Nanodiomonds can be used as a vehicle for gene delivery they do it by by functionalizing the nanodiamond surface with PEI800 and it is going to revolutionize the genetic medicine front, this new technology combines key properties in one approach, ie : enhanced delivery efficient [...]

Nano bio technology for terminating brain tumor

Thousands of people die from malignant brain tumors every year, and the tumors are resistant to conventional therapies. This nano-bio technology may eventually provide an alternative form of therapy that targets only cancer cells and does not affect normal living tissue.
This new therapy depend on a two pronged approach. Titanium dioxide is [...]

Nanosheets for scar free surgical stitches

Researchers at Tokyo’s Waseda University have used the biodegradable material to develop nanosheets for suture treatment which can replace Poly-L-lactide has been used previously as degradable stitches and in
drug delivery
Wounds made in mice stomatches healed without scarring the tissue when the researchteam applied sheets to incisions. Findings were published in the journal [...]

Use of nanotechnology is killing ovarian cancer cells
Gene therapy with the aid of nanotechnology  can cure ovarian cancer, experiment conducted by US Researchers was able to deliver tiny synthetic particles carrying a payload of toxin worked as well as chemotherapy at killing ovarian cancer in mice without side effects. The  highlights of the study is [...]

Bio nanobots that kills cancer cells

One more feather on the cap of nanotechnology in curing cancer, with the help of  a new method called trojan horse therapy. Australian Scientists Dr Jennifer MacDiarmid and Dr Himanshu Brahmbhatt, who formed EnGenelC Pty Ltd in 2001 discovered a very effective method which they call  Trojan horse” therapy to combat cancer using bacterially derived [...]

Single celled organism as nanobots

In this new age people started speculating about the potential of nanobots and genetic engineering in future health industry. We are in age where new technologies are evolving  faster than we can think of. So I also like to speculate about the future of health industry.
We talked a lot about nanotechnology, cloning etc, But today [...]

Nanotechnology for a better human brain

Research conducted by Michigan University have developed a nanotech coating for human brain implants that is capable of give long operational life .
Brain implants are used to aid people suffering from Parkinson’s disease, depression and epilepsy, these implants with newly discovered micro electrodes are capable of communicating with individual neurons and to stimulate brain neurons [...]

How can nanobots move?

Nanobots can also be called as nano doctors which can get into human body and fix the faults but the question that we are facing is how can we send an intelligent nanobot into human system?
Making biologically friendly nanobots ( that wont cause danger to our human body ) is an important for creating a [...]
