Nanotechnology is revolutionizing the world of pharmaceutical and biotechnology, to permit the use nanoparticles as drug-containing capsules needed to fight disease. In this sense, scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new method that could lead to a breakthrough in cancer treatment, making these nanoparticles are transported to the place where [...]
Researchers in Mexico have developed a methodology that applies the concepts of nanotechnology for water purification , and could become the solution for treating waste water from industries. The methodology consists in developing nanoparticles. Titanium oxide is deposited on a surface of glass or crystal, and then are subjected to high temperatures and activation with [...]
A lot of people worldwide have some form of Diabetes Either Type 1 Diabetes or type 2 , in the case of type 1 diabetes , it is necessary to strictly control the Glycemia (Concentration of glucose in the blood ) because in this variety, the body has no capacity to manufacture insulin, A hormone [...]
One of the characteristics they have in common neurodegenerative diseases Like Alzheimer’s Is the existence of neuronal death , the neurons difficult to regenerate themselves , we need to regeneralas Stem Cells from any possible sources such as embryos, umbilical cord or bone marrow , which must be injected directly into the brain, this procedure [...]
Researchers National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST ) from USA has designed a nanoscale fluidic device that functions as a “multi- tool to work with miniature nanoparticles. First introduced in March 2009 , the device consists of a camera with a cascading “ladder” nanofluídicos 30 channels with a depth of about 80 nanometers in [...]
With regard to the debate on the toxic effects of carbon nanotubes , researchers from the United States and China launched an investigation into the toxicity of carbon nanotubes in the reproductive system of male mice . The investigation showed that carbon nanotubes cause damage to the testicles , but the damage is reversible and [...]
The prostate contains two cell types, the luminal cells, responsible for secreting differentiated prostate specific antigen and basal cell, undifferentiated and whose mission is to act as a dividing stem cell in case of need. So far , scientists considered the former as responsible for prostate cancer , but a study published in Science reveals [...]
