Scientists at NYU Abu Dhabi have developed an innovative use for nanotechnology in the field of cancer research. Their ...

A near-infrared light beam appears harmless, as it is a low-frequency type of light that does not have a dramatic effect but rather passes through tissue unnoticed. However, under some circumstances, ...

Researchers at Oregon State University have developed and tested in a mouse model a new type of nanoparticle that enables the removal of melanoma tumors with a low-power laser. After the systemically ...

Colloidal nanoparticles are particles that operate at the nanoscale, specifically between 1 to 1000 nanometers, suspended in a fluid. These nanoparticles can consist of various materials, such as ...

Photothermal therapies utilize photosensitizing agents to convert applied light into heat. This release of energy results in localized damage to targeted cells or other therapeutic effects. Plasmonic ...

Researchers at Tel Aviv University have developed a new platform using polymeric nanoparticles to deliver drug pairs to specific cancer types, including skin cancer and breast cancer. The researchers ...

When designing a nanoparticle-enabled drug delivery system, many intersecting considerations must be taken into account, such as the target location of the drug payload, the method of delivery, uptake ...

Waiting is the hardest part. Especially in the case of testing for water or food contamination, which can take days or even a week in some cases for the results, leaving the possibility that people ...

Scientists from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands have identified receptors and proteins that play a role in cells’ internal buildup of nanoparticles. Many of these receptors and proteins ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists in the laboratory of Stephen Miller, Ph.D., professor emeritus of Microbiology–Immunology, have identified the cellular and molecular mechanisms required for the ...
