Nanotechnology-based approaches in anticancer research
Cancer is a highly complex disease to understand, because it entails multiple cellular physiological systems. The most common cancer treatments are restricted to chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. Moreover, the early recognition and treatment of cancer remains a technological bottleneck. There is an urgent need to develop new and innovative technologies that could help to delineate tumor marg...
متن کاملDNA nanotechnology gets real
In the beginning there was the cube. Nadrian Seeman and coworkers at New York University set out in the early 1990s to construct a nanometre scale cube from DNA. The idea was to use the highly sophisticated methods of molecular biology to build DNA into something new and entirely artificial. Linking DNA fragments together by means of hybridisation of overlapping ends followed by ligation, Seema...
متن کاملNanotechnology-Based Approaches for Guiding Neural Regeneration.
The mammalian brain is a phenomenal piece of "organic machinery" that has fascinated scientists and clinicians for centuries. The intricate network of tens of billions of neurons dispersed in a mixture of chemical and biochemical constituents gives rise to thoughts, feelings, memories, and life as we know it. In turn, subtle imbalances or damage to this system can cause severe complications in ...
متن کاملNanotechnology Approaches for Ocular Drug Delivery
Blindness is a major health concern worldwide that has a powerful impact on afflicted individuals and their families, and is associated with enormous socio-economical consequences. The Middle East is heavily impacted by blindness, and the problem there is augmented by an increasing incidence of diabetes in the population. An appropriate drug/gene delivery system that can sustain and deliver the...
متن کاملBio-nanotechnology Approaches to Neural Tissue Engineering
Injury to the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and central nervous system (CNS) may result in severe functional loss. Spontaneous regeneration is limited to small lesions within the injured PNS and is actively suppressed within the CNS. In this chapter we discuss the pathology and changes in the physiological environment following PNS/CNS injury. Several key factors such as the glial scar and in...
