Nanomedicine standout spotlights first human cancer data
Bind Biosciences has scored some initial blows against cancers in humans, providing data that back up some of the promise of its nanomedicine Bind-014 in preclinical tests.
Iranian researchers test gold nanoparticle cancer drug delivery
Nanomedicine researchers at Lorestan University in Iran say they've made progress with a new drug delivery mechanism designed to carry targeted non-chemotherapy cancer treatments. Their design...
This could be the year of nanotech-enabled medicines
Nanotech-enabled medicines are coming of age. That's the big message I came away with after a recent telephone chat with Kevin Bitterman, a life sciences investor with Polaris Venture Partners in
University of Arkansas heightens nanomedicine research efforts
Another player is joining the field of nanomedicine-related research and development: The Arkansas Nanomedicine Center. To be housed at The University of Arkansas' College of Medicine, the new
Scientists find new pulse on gene therapy delivery
While the researchers' new technique hasn't advanced enough to deliver drugs, a team at Ohio State University has invented a system that used electric pulses to send pieces of DNA into cells in a lab
Nano-therapy that cooks deadly brain tumors advances in Germany
Nanotechnology experts have been tackling the monster task of combating aggressive brain tumors that can't be beat with chemotherapy and radiation treatments alone. This week MagForce reported that
'Nanolids' keep meds bottled up until ready for release into tumors
Nature Publishing Group's Asia Materials tells us about a new Tupperware-style innovation in nanomedicine--"nanolids" that keep nanoscale drug carriers capped and their contents fresh until they're
Nanomaterial improves on VEGF for blood-vessel growth
Vascular endothelial growth factor, or VEGF, can be our friend or enemy. When working properly, the protein creates new blood vessels after an injury and to bypass blocked vessels. When
Nanowires are natural swimmers for drug-delivery 'bots
In the world of drug-delivering nanobots, Eric Lauga and Joseph Wang from the University of California, San Diego were inspired by natural microscopic swimmers such as E. coli and made nanowires that
Nanobarrels dispense nanodisks for flexible drug delivery
Researchers are rolling out the nanobarrels to dispense a keg full of nanosized disks to cure what ails you. NanoWerk tells us about a UCLA team that is tapping into naturally occurring nanosized
