Spray Gel Helps Prevent Cancer Spread Following Surgery
All too often after tumor resections cancers end up spreading to other parts of the body. Metastasis is not well understood, but researchers at University of California, Los Angeles, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, South China...

Nanopore Sensor Exploits Artificial Intelligence for Specific Virus Detection
Researchers at Osaka University in Japan have developed a nanopore sensor to detect single influenza viral particles in a biological sample. The researchers used artificial intelligence to work out the “hallmarks” of the virus, which allowed...

Nanoneedle Skin Patch to Inject Drugs Into Cells
Delivering drugs directly into skin cells using microscopic nanoneedles may allow for highly effective treatment of skin conditions without injuring the cells that are treated. Silicon nanoneedles have been developed in the past that can do such...

DNA Origami Nanoparticles to Treat Acute Kidney Injury
DNA origami is a technique for building different shaped molecules out of the four standard nucleotide bases. Various forms can be constructed, such as tubes, pyramids, and cubes, and the shapes of these molecules can significantly affect their...

Hairy Coating Keeps Nanoparticles Safe from Immune System, Liver
Nanoparticles are seemingly a great way to treat tumors, but they're so rapidly washed out by the bloodstream that few of the nanoparticles actually reach their targets. Researchers at Drexel University have now developed a surface treatment...

Nanopropellers to Deliver Drugs Safely Into Eye
The eyes have a complex set of defensive barriers to protect internal structures. That is why getting drugs into the eye is still either not very effective, as with eye drops, or very invasive, as with a needle. Now a team of European...

Kevlar with Conductive Nanowires Makes for Perfect Heat Pads
Electric heating pads are very popular for relieving minor aches and pains. They're fairly cheap and are easy to use, but the heat distribution is uneven and the pads themselves tend to be lumpy or downright rigid. Wearing them while walking around...

Electronic Synthetic Cells Small Enough for Injections
If injectable autonomous robots are to be used in medicine, they must be tiny and capable of being manufactured by the million. They must also have some kind of electronics inside for diagnostic or therapeutic capabilities. Researches at MIT...
