A new approach to brain tumor treatment using photodynamic therapy (PDT) with nanotechnology has been explored in a review published in the journal Biomedicines. Unlike radiotherapy and surgical resection, PDT can treat micro-invasive areas and protect critical brain tissue with a high probability of success. Conventional Methods using PDT Photodynamic therapy is a type of phototherapy that [...]

In recent years scientists have worked to create materials that can repair themselves, in order to deal with the swift degradation of devices we use at home. A discovery by Dr. Yehonadav Bekenstein and his team at the Technion could pave the way there. We tend to take it for granted, but the existence [...]

Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers have developed a color-coded test that quickly signals whether newly developed nanoparticles—ultra small compartments designed to ferry medicines, vaccines and other therapies—deliver their cargo into target cells. Historically, nanoparticles have a very low delivery rate to the cytosol, the inside compartment of cells, releasing only about 1%–2% of their contents. [...]

Just when we thought things were looking up at least a little, because the omicron variant, while being more contagious, often takes a milder course than delta, a new variant has emerged. We do not yet know how dangerous it is, or even where it originated. The new variant was detected in early December in a [...]

Drug cancer cell treatment, Doxil, manufactured by Ayana Pharma, was launched a week ago, to the International Space Station, as part of the mission of SpaceX. The launch of the drug was made possible by SpacePharma, an Israeli start-up laboratory. Since space exploration has grown because of aerospace big players such as SpaceX, the [...]

The field of medicine is perhaps the area where emerging technologies are of the utmost importance. In the last decades, the development of technology has greatly benefited the medical industry. Some of the advancements include newly-emerged and more efficient and accurate equipment and new tech, as well as the integration of automated and digital services, such [...]

Extremely selective silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were biochemically synthesized from Nilgirianthus Ciliatus leaves (NCL) harvest for spectrophotometric determination of Zn (II) ions to create nano detectors, according to an article published recently in Materials Research Bulletin. Under atmospheric circumstances, AgNPs were synthesized utilizing NCL extracts found in bioactive compounds. Biosynthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Metal nanoparticles of Au, Ag, [...]
