Nanomedicine and Nanotechnology

Five important biomedical technology breakthroughs

Ranging from AI-enhanced medical imaging to nanometer-scale MRI and a skin-implantable biosensor

Wearable non-invasive sensors could allow continuous and convenient glucose-monitoring in diabetes

Nanoparticle-decorated bioactive glass provides a scaffold for bone regrowth and the capacity for photothermal treatment to target tumor cells

The work could ultimately lead to a whole new way of delivering pharmaceuticals, for instance

Less-invasive way to stimulate the brain with light may lead to new treatments for neurological disorders

Nanoparticle surfaces play a significant role in complement activation, which is an important component of the innate immune system

A tiny tube made of protein-like molecules called peptoids that rolls up and zips closed could be used for various applications

“Five orders of magnitude [hundreds of thousands times] faster than previously reported DNA-driven robotic systems”

Improved DNA detection using nanopore sensors
