Nano-devices cross blood-brain barrier to deliver drug to treat cerebral palsy
A team of scientists from Johns Hopkins and elsewhere have developed nano-devices that successfully cross the brain-blood barrier and deliver a drug that tames brain-damaging inflammation in rabbits with cerebral palsy. A report on the experiments, conducted at Wayne State University in collaboration with the Perinatology Research Branch of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, before the lead and senior investigators moved to Johns Hopkins, is published in the April 18 issue of Science Translational Medicine Continue reading

FDA outlines rules for nanotechnology in food
WASHINGTON (AP) — Regulators are proposing that food companies that want to use tiny engineered particles in their packaging will have to provide extra testing data to show the products are safe. The Food and Drug Administration issued tentative guidelines Friday for food and cosmetic companies interested in using nanoparticles, which are measured in billionths of a meter. Continue reading

Good vibrations in fight against cancer
Public release date: 17-Apr-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Kevin Mayhood kevin.mayhood@case.edu 216-368-4442 Case Western Reserve University Medicine-toting nanochains slip into tumors and explode a chemotherapy drug into hard-to-reach cores of cancer, engineers and scientists at Case Western Reserve University report. In tests on rats and mice, the technology took out far more cancer cells, inhibited tumor growth better and extended life longer than traditional chemotherapy delivery. All the while, the targeted delivery system used far less of the drug doxorubicin than the amount used in traditional chemotherapy, saving healthy tissue from toxic exposure Continue reading

New Physics and Future Medicine
Physicists have been struggling for decades to unify quantum mechanics, which corrals the particle flock, with Einsteins general theory of relativity, which sculpts space and time. Theyve come at it with various approaches, including string theory, but it remains stubbornly intractable. Continue reading
