Emergex completes toxicology testing on gold nanoparticle carrier system for vaccine platform

Emergex Vaccines Holding Limited, a biotechnology company pioneering a new approach to synthetic vaccine development in the field of infectious diseases, today announces the successful completion of preclinical toxicology testing on the gold nanoparticle carrier system that forms the fundamental basis for Emergex's entire infectious disease vaccine platform.

			Scientists succeed in increasing stability, biocompatibility of light-transducing nanoparticles A team of scientists from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, in collaboration with researchers from Monash University Australia, has succeeded in significantly increasing the stability and biocompatibility of special light-transducing nanoparticles.

			Nanotechnology Against Aging The use of science and technology to manipulate matter on a molecular or nanoscale is known as nanotechnology. It may easily be regarded as the most forthcoming technology of our era and as such is used in many different industries.

	Study uses gold nanoparticles to remove prostate cancer cells A small clinical trial using gold nanoparticles that act as tumor-seeking missiles on a mission to remove prostate cancer has begun at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth). It is the first trial of its kind in the world.

	Using Nanoparticle Movement for Real-Time Imaging of Glioblastoma Cells This article discusses using nanoparticle movement for real-time imaging of glioblastoma cells

	Anti-cancer Properties of Silver Nanoparticles The small size of silver nanoparticles and ability to induce cell death through multiple mechanisms makes them fantastic candidates for anti-cancer therapies.

	Membrane-coated Nanoparticles Membrane-coated nanoparticles provide improved retention time and a method of targeting specific cells or tissues within the body.

	Silica Nanoparticle Applications in Biomedicine Silica nanoparticles of between 1 – 100 nm in diameter are cost-effective and simple to produce, with a highly modifiable surface chemistry, shape, and size. They commonly act as a support scaffold or coating for biomolecules or other nanoparticles and potentially make excellent drug delivery platforms due to their highly biocompatible nature and porous structure.

	Advantages of Fluorescent Nanoparticles Nanoparticles are widely used for fluorescent imaging of cells and tissues. They are safe, modifiable and useful for therapeutic intervention.

	Gold Nanoparticles as Catalysts in Biology Gold nanoparticles can act as excellent catalysts for biological reactions due to their large surface-to-volume and ability to transfer charge.
