Microscopic booms: China, U.S. efforts mull explosive use of nanotech drug delivery
Two separate research efforts in China and the U.S. are exploring a rather dramatic use of nanotechnology to deliver drugs to their targets. Think of a microscopic explosion and that's where they're
Professor edits special issue of Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews
The Monroe News-Star in Louisiana ran a feature on Yuri Lvov, professor of chemistry and T.C. Pipes endowed chair in micro- and nanosystems at Louisiana Tech University, who is co-editing a special
Zcube, Caltech get together for nanotube-needle drug delivery
Zcube, a venture arm of the Bresso, Italy-based pharma Zambon, is continuing its embrace of promising, yet experimental, drug-delivery technology with an exclusive research and option agreement with
Carbon nanotubes deliver siRNA in post-stroke treatment
Those who follow research into nanotech-enabled drug delivery would be interested in a recent in-vivo test by European scientists of delivery of gene silencing siRNA via carbon nanotubes. The
Pop goes the nanotube for targeted drug delivery
In another one of those "strange properties" you hear about when things go nanosized, if you squeeze water inside a tiny tube--like a carbon nanotube--it takes warmer temperatures to get those
Fluorescent carbon nanotubes light the way for drug-delivery researchers
Those involved in drug-delivery research often use mice to test whether medication is going where it's supposed to go. However, researchers often get a very cloudy picture when they use traditional
How to deliver drugs into a cell while doing no harm
It's a problem as old as Schrodinger's cat--how to observe phenomena on a tiny scale without the act of observation itself having an impact on the subject. You don't even need to get into the
Carbon nanotubes, electrical fields double-team tumors
Since their discovery in 1991, carbon nanotubes have been touted as possible drug delivery devices. But it has taken this long for technology to catch up to the promise. The National Science
Nanotubes, nanofibers tested as anticancer delivery depots
Despite the efforts of some anti-nanotech groups to paint carbon nanotubes as hazardous to human health, the reality is that they increasingly show promise as drug-delivery devices. The latest proof
