Nanovip All things Nanotechnology – Nano Is The Futiure

Australian researchers have developed a needle-free, dissolving vaccination that they say could be mailed to households during a pandemic. Unlike other next-generation vaccinations, the Australian development uses micro-projections made from dried vaccine. The nano-patch is outlined in the latest edition of the journal Small. Prof. Mark Kendall, of the University of Queensland’s Australian Institute for Biotechnology and Nanotechnology, said this ... Read More »

A normally benign protein found in the human body appears to be able – when paired with nanoparticles – to zero in on and kill certain cancer cells, without having to also load those particles with chemotherapy drugs. The finding could lead to a new strategy for targeted cancer therapies, according to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill ... Read More »

A combination of nanotechnology and adult stem cells has been shown to destroy arterial plaque atherosclerosis in the hearts of pigs. Animals that received stem cells also showed signs of new blood vessel growth and restoration of artery function, according to the study reported at the American Heart Association’s Basic Cardiovascular Sciences 2010 Scientific Sessions. A technique that combines nanotechnology ... Read More »

In around six months, the city-based Defence Institute of Advanced Technology (DIAT) will have a nano technology centre on campus. The proposed facility will aim at giving a fillip to nanotechnology-related research, besides providing a platform for PhD students from across the country. “Manpower and expert researchers are the key aspects of any technology centre. With the recruitment process over, ... Read More »
