Novel cancer research has emerged from the journal, Biosensors, to develop early diagnosis methods for ovarian cancer. With the advancement in nanotechnology, this research has included identifying circulating tumor cells through the use of nanoparticles in a simple, cost-effective and simple approach for ovarian cancer. What are Circulating Tumor Cells? Metastasis is a very significant factor [...]

Artificially manufacturing a rare kind of substance known as spin glass, according to a new study, might usher in a new era in artificial intelligence by enabling algorithms to be printed as physical hardware. The peculiar features of spin glass allow a type of AI that, like the brain, can distinguish objects from incomplete [...]

In an article available as a pre-proof in the journal Carbon, researchers used electrospinning methodologies to develop an air cathode built of self-sustaining nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide@carbon nanofiber (N rGO@CNF) hybrid sheets suitable for microbial fuel cells. Microbial Fuel Cells for Bioenergy Production It is critical to develop eco-friendly and sustainable technology in light of rising climate change consequences and [...]

Researchers developed a natural antibacterial texture for use on food packaging to extend shelf life and minimize waste, inspired by the bacteria-killing wings of insects like cicadas. An Australian–Japanese team of scientists developed a laboratory-made nanotexture that destroys up to 70% of bacteria and maintains its efficiency when transferred to plastic. Over 30% of [...]

A new technology aims to stop wildlife from spreading Ebola, rabies, and other viruses. It could prevent the next pandemic by stopping pathogens from jumping from animals to people. Imagine a cure that’s as contagious as the disease it fights—a vaccine that could replicate in a host’s body and spread to others nearby, quickly [...]

In an article recently published in the open-access MDPI journal nanomaterials, researchers investigated the mechanism of interaction between nanoscale materials and specific cells for biomedical applications, primarily related to targeted delivery and tracing. Here, the localization, cellular uptake quantity, and response time of gold nanorods in MCF-7 and SKBR-3 breast cancer cells were measured. Background The amalgamation [...]

Currently, chemotherapy is still the main clinical treatment strategy for cancer. Although it has produced significant effects, chemotherapy also has a destructive effect on normal tissues and cells, bringing many side effects to patients. Therefore, it is necessary to study high-precision, safe and controllable treatment strategies. With the development of research, nanocarriers constructed by [...]

A group of researchers recently published a paper in the MDPI journal pharmaceutics that demonstrated the effectiveness of using lipid-biopolymer nanobeads as indomethacin (INDO) carriers to reduce drug toxicity. Background INDO, an orally administered non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) agent, is used extensively for inflammation, fever, and pain control. However, the oral administration of INDO often leads to [...]
