Formation of new blood vessels, also known as angiogenesis, is crucial for sustained tumor growth and cancer metastasis. Recently, clinically available therapies to suppress the growth of these vessels have been available to improve patient survival in some cancer types. Accurate detection and quantification of blood vessel growth using nonsurgical methods would greatly complement current therapies and allow physicians to ... Read More »

Engineers at Oregon State University have made a significant advance toward producing electricity from sewage, by the use of new coatings on the anodes of microbial electrochemical cells that increased the electricity production about 20 times. The findings, just published online in Biosensors and Bioelectronics, a professional journal, bring the researchers one step closer to technology that could clean biowaste ... Read More »

“Development of sustainable solutions for nanotechnology-based products based on hazard characterization and LCA” Objective The objective of the NanoSustain project is to develop innovative solutions for the sustainable design, use, recycling and final treatment of nanotechnology-based products. This will be achieved by a comprehensive data gathering and generation of relevant missing data, as well as their evaluation and validation, for ... Read More »

Britain’s 24 nanotechnology centres could be among the casualties of cuts to the UK science budget, science minister David Willetts has said. The previous government spent £50m on the network of research facilities at universities across the UK. But Mr Willetts told MPs there were too many small “sub-critical” research centres and they should be centralised. He said it was ... Read More »
