NYT > Nanotechnology http://nanobillboard.com/2530/working-as-a-team-bacteria-spin-gears/ Standard methods of screening men for prostate cancer leave much to be desired, particularly in terms of their inability to have much effect on prostate cancer survival. Now, a team of investigators at the University of Missouri School of Medicine have created a targeted gold nanoparticle that appears to ... http://nanobillboard.com/2529/potential-for-new-nanoparticle-based-cancer-detection/ Forget surgery. One team of Kansas State University researchers is exploring nanoparticle-induced hyperthermia in the battle against cancer. Nanowerk Nanotechnology News http://nanobillboard.com/2528/research-team-exploring-nanoparticle-induced-hyperthermia-to-battle-cancer/ A research team from Emory University has developed a method for mapping the molecular heterogeneity of human prostate tumor biopsies obtained from cancer patients using a mixture of four quantum dots linked to antibodies that can detect cancer-associated proteins. Shuming Nie, the principal investigator of the Emory University and Georgia ... http://nanobillboard.com/2527/mapping-tumor-heterogeneity-with-quantum-dots/ Abstract: Plethora of the formulation techniques were reported in literature for targeting the drug to specific site. Polymeric micelle can be targeted to tumor site by passive as well as active mechanism. Some inherent properties of polymeric micelle such as size in nanorange, stability in plasma, longevity in vivo and ... http://nanobillboard.com/2526/advances-in-polymeric-micelles-for-drug-delivery-and-tumor-targeting-accepted-manuscript/ So-called memristors could replace today’s transistors and lead to a new class of computing devices, Hewlett-Packard scientists say.
