Scientists discover how gold eases pain of arthritis
Scientists at Duke University Medical Center may have solved the mystery surrounding the healing properties of gold - a discovery they say may renew interest in gold salts as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory diseases. view more (2007-10-23)
Nanoparticles carry cancer-killing drugs into tumor cells
University of Michigan scientists have created the nanotechnology equivalent of a Trojan horse to smuggle a powerful chemotherapeutic drug inside tumor cells - increasing the drug's cancer-killing activity and reducing its toxic side effects. view more (2005-06-15)
Nanoparticles, nanoshells, nanotubes: How tiny specks may provide powerful tools against cancer
They're but a tiny speck, existing in a variety of forms: particles, tubes, shells, even a soccerball-like shape. They also share a common prefix: "nano," connoting their size, a billionth of a meter or roughly 25-millionth of an inch. view more (2005-11-17)
