Polymer nanoparticles act as plastic antibodies by capturing toxins in specially crafted holes. Researchers in Japan and California (Stanford, UC Irvine) have developed plastic antibodies capable of seizing and neutralizing dangerous materials in the body. The polymer nanoparticles were injected into live mice after they had been subjected to melittin, the toxin in bee venom. The nanoparticles captured the melittin ... Read More »

The Future of Medicine Using Nanotechnology ? Really Cutting-edge
f we all are right to begin with, that a raw food diet is best, then the future of medicine, reliant on nanotechnology… would not be necessary. What? An article published in Advances in Anti-Aging suggests diseases and poor-health are largely the result of damage that occurs at the molecular level of the body, and at the cellular level of ...
