Corneal transplants may be the final step in restoring clear vision to many people with eye disorders. Each year, over 80,000 corneal transplants are performed in the United States, with over 184,000 corneal transplant surgeries conducted worldwide.
According to new research by Cornell and Binghamton University scientists, metal oxide nanoparticles - commonly used as food coloring and anti-caking agents in the commercial ingredients industry - may damage parts of the human intestine.
A recent study by Hokkaido University explains how dust grains form in interstellar gas and could offer significant insights to astronomers and help materials scientists develop valuable nanoparticles.
According to a research that was published in the journal "Science Advances", items like molds for casting metal nanoparticles with particular shapes like solar cells could potentially created by thread-like DNA molecules.
Engineers at Duke University have developed a device that uses sound waves to separate and sort the tiniest particles found in blood in a matter of minutes. The technology is based on a concept called "virtual pillars" and could be a boon to both scientific research and medical applications.
Researchers found and developed nanoparticles that simultaneously carry chemotherapy and a new immunotherapy. Chemotherapy is a pillar of cancer treatment, but residual cancer cells can persist and cause tumor relapse.
Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh have designed cancer-fighting nanoparticles that co-deliver a chemotherapy drug and a novel immunotherapy.
Missouri [US], October 20 (ANI): After 14 months, there is a 70-80 per cent risk that non-small cell lung cancer, one of the two primary types of lung cancer, would become resistant to the pharmacological therapy that was initially used to treat it. There aren't many existing therapy alterna
Washington [US], October 17 (ANI): Colloidal crystals contain a previously unknown feature known as highly organized three-dimensional arrays of nanoparticles, according to researchers from Northwestern University.
Delft [Netherlands], August 14 (ANI): TU Delft researchers have developed a new method for producing nanocarriers loaded with radioactive salts for imaging and treatment. Because the assembly of these nanocarriers is so simple, the innovation is ideal for clinical research and cancer treatme
