New nanoparticle-based platform for detecting esophageal cancer cells   Researchers at the University of Texas at Arlington's College of Nursing and Health Innovation have developed a new nanoparticle-based platform for simultaneous imaging and treatment of esophageal cancer.

EPFL scientists develop new optical nanotube sensors using synthetic biology   EPFL scientists have developed new nanotube biosensors using synthetic biology, which improves their sensing capabilities in complex biofluids, such as blood and urine. The study is published in the Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters.         Nucleic acid nanoparticles found to have varying immune responses   An extensive experiment testing the immune effects of a broad group of lab-designed nucleic acid nanoparticles did not find a strong, uniform immune response, as had been predicted.

Scientists study adverse effects of carbon, silicon nanotubes and carbon nanofibers   Nanoparticles with a wide range of applying, including medicine, damage cells of microalgae Heterosigma akashivo badly. This algae species is widely spread in the Russian Far East marine area. The acute toxic effect exhibited at concentrations of 100 mg/l of carbon nanotubes and silicon nanotubes in the sea- or fresh water.       Ferrofluid and Cancer   Ferrofluids are colloidal suspensions of magnetic particles in a liquid carrier, which become magnetized in the presence of a magnetic field. These may be composed of iron, nickel, or cobalt, and show magnetic properties.       NMR technique reveals the cause of synergistic toxicity in nanomaterials   A new study finds reason for caution - a clear emergence of toxicity -- in nanomaterial product formulations, but it also provides an early testing technique that could help the industry continue to move forward.       Study identifies cost-effective strategy to treat nail fungus using nanotechnology   Onychomycosis, a nail fungus that causes nail disfigurement, pain, and increased risk of soft tissue infection, impacts millions of people worldwide. There are several topical antifungal treatments currently available; however, treatment failure remains high due to a number of factors.       Nanodiagnostics: An Overview   Nanodiagnostics involve the use of nanotechnology in biomedical diagnostics. Various aspects of the relationship between biomedical nanotechnology and diagnostics are discussed below.       Nanoindentation Tests: Comparing the Mechanical Properties of Dry and Hydrated Marine Teeth   The term bio-inspired materials or biomimetic materials refers to those materials whose structure or composition is based upon natural biological substances, and serve many objectives in an appropriate and simultaneous manner.
