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)
Novel lipoplex nanoparticle to be used in 1st human trial treating advanced solid cancer
The first clinical trial of a biologic nanoparticle designed to give back to cancer patients the tumor-busting gene they have lost is expected to start in September at Georgetown University Medical Center. view more (2005-08-25)

Road to greener chemistry paved with nano-gold, researchers report
The selective oxidation processes that are used to make compounds contained in agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals and other chemical products can be accomplished more cleanly and more efficiently with gold nanoparticle catalysts, researchers have reported in Nature magazine. view more (2005-10-26)
MIT engineers an anti-cancer smart bomb
Imagine a cancer drug that can burrow into a tumor, seal the exits and detonate a lethal dose of anti-cancer toxins, all while leaving healthy cells unscathed. view more (2005-07-28)
Gold nanoparticles could improve antisense cancer drugs
In the fight against cancer, antisense drugs, which prevent genes from producing harmful proteins such as those that cause cancer, have the promise to be more effective than conventional drugs, but the pace of development of these new drugs has been slow. view more (2006-05-19)
Rice University researchers create 'nanorice'
Who better to invent "nanorice" than researchers at Rice University? But marketing and whimsy weren't what motivated the team of engineers, physicists and chemists from Rice's Laboratory for Nanophotonics (LANP) to make rice-shaped particles of gold and iron oxide. view more (2006-03-15)
Using Nanoparticles, In Vivo Gene Therapy Activates Brain Stem Cells
Using customized nanoparticles that they developed, University at Buffalo scientists have for the first time delivered genes into the brains of living mice with an efficiency that is similar to, or better than, viral vectors and with no observable toxic effect, according to a paper published this week in Proceedings of the National Academy of... view more...

The Science Of Ball Lightning
A spectacular phenomenon This theme issue of Philosophical Transactions A (a Royal Society journal) deals with the phenomenon of ball lightning, a rarely seen and slow-moving luminous phenomenon usually associated with thunderstorms. A collection of previously unpublished sightings is presented, including close-up encounters describing the... view more... (2001-12-20)
Targeted drug delivery achieved with nanoparticle-aptamer bioconjugates
Ground-breaking results from researchers at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA, disclosed at the 13th European Cancer Conference (ECCO) have shown for the first time that targeted drug delivery is possible using nanoparticle-apatamer conjugates. view more (2005-11-02)
Scorpion venom with nanoparticles slows spread of brain cancer
By combining nanoparticles with a scorpion venom compound already being investigated for treating brain cancer, University of Washington researchers found they could cut the spread of cancerous cells by 98 percent, compared to 45 percent for the scorpion venom alone. view more (2009-04-17)
'Custom' nanoparticles could improve cancer diagnosis and treatment
Researchers have developed "custom" nanoparticles that show promise of providing a more targeted and effective delivery of anticancer drugs than conventional medications or any of the earlier attempts to fight cancer with nanoparticles. view more (2006-03-27)
