Nanomedicine and Nanotechnology

Organic electrochemical transistor monitors bone cell differentiation

New technique detects real-time concentrations of an important cytokine molecule secreted as stem cells transform into bone

Drug-loaded silica nanoparticles target the blood vessels that supply tumors with oxygen and nutrients to ‘starve’ cancer cells

Researchers have developed a convenient gel that could be sprayed onto frostbite injuries when they occur, helping wounds heal

Novel biological tool uses blue light to reassemble and activate antibody fragments

Irradiating gadolinium-loaded nanoparticles with monochromatic X-rays could provide a new type of radiation therapy

Kirigami-inspired design allows graphene-based sensor devices to withstand large strains

New device is better than traditional microelectrode and fluorescence-based approaches

Focused ultrasound paired with microbubbles can get drugs into the brain, but no intensity of sonication allows large molecules to penetrate very far

Bismuth gadolinium oxide nanoparticles could act as a theranostic agent to enhance radiotherapy and increase image contrast
