San Diego, Calif., June 16, 2014 — Nanoengineers at the University of California, San Diego have developed a nanoshell to protect foreign enzymes used to starve cancer cells as part of chemotherapy. Their work is featured on the June 2014 cover of the journal Nano Letters. Enzymes are naturally smart machines that are responsible for […]
New Study Suggests Lost Stem Cells Naturally Replaced By Non-Stem Cells
A new study released by Johns Hopkins Medicine may shed light on the seemingly never ending search for understanding cancer. Researchers have discovered an unexpected phenomenon in the organs that produce sperm in fruit flies: When a certain kind of stem cell is killed off experimentally, another group of non-stem cells can come out of retirement […]
Nano-particles Force Cancerous Tumor Cells To ‘Self-Destruct’
New research released by Lund University in Sweden indicates magnetically controlled nano-particles can force tumor cells to ‘self-destruct’. This news could be pivotal in the world of cancer treatment research. In the video below, Erik Renstrom, a Prefessor at Lund University says, “magnetically controlled nano-particles to force tumor cells to ‘self-destruct’ “Our technique, on the other hand, […]
