Preventing Inflammation-Induced Damage

Innovative Nanotechnology-Based Approach Prevents Inflammation-Induced Damage Doses of medicine 100,000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair prevent the tissue damage associated with atherosclerosis and other chronic diseases in mice. As part of a National Institutes of Health-sponsored project led by Zahi Fayad, PhD, of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, researchers found that these nanomedicines ... Read More »

Contrast Agents for Computed Tomography (CT)

Nanotechnology contrast agents for computed tomography (CT) (Nanowerk Spotlight) Computed tomography (CT) scans are an imaging method that use x-rays to create pictures of cross-sections of the body. Many CT scans involve intravenously injected iodinated contrast agents – also called radiocontrast agents – in order to increase the sensitivity of the scan. One problem with conventional iodinated contrast agents is ... Read More »

New Kind of Nanotechnology Imaging

New Kind of Nanotechnology Imaging Technique Developed By using high-energy X-rays produced by synchrotron sources, researchers achieved a major breakthrough in measuring the structure of nanomaterials under extremely high pressures. For the first time, they developed a way to get around the severe distortions of high-energy X-ray beams that are used to image the structure of a gold nanocrystal. The ... Read More »
