Nanotechnology can play a vital role in fighting cancer
6 February 2010Nanotechnology can play a vital role in fighting cancer is a reality now and many experts of the area nanomedicine and nanotechnology foresee tremendous scope of nanotechnology in many more areas covering wide range of health and medicine in future. One of the key property of nanotech based therapeutic agents is that these complex nanostructures can exploit the cancer lesion’s mechanical properties and therefore can effectively be used for various applications.
The researchers claim to have engineered the specific nanoparticles that are far superior as these are capable to deliver the drugs only at the affected sites and thus don’t cause any adverse effect on the healthy cells. Researchers argue that the understanding of the mechanical aspect associated with the cancer can help in designing nanoparticles for fighting cancer. Further all the mechanical aspect lead to transport or motion of the blood and cells.
Researchers at the Department of Nanomedicine and Biomedical Engineering, University of Texas led by Dr. Mauro Ferrari, chairman have recently launched a new field known as “Transport Oncophysics” where nanotech based therapeutics are under study for their performance. Researchers have so far found that the new nanoparticles developed and studied indicate their superiority over conventional drugs. The outcome of the study will be presented in the forthcoming conference, “First Global Congress on Nanoengineering for Medicine and Biology” starting from Feb 07, 2010 at JW Marriott Houston.

your blog is helping me in renewing various ideas in the field of nanotechnology and boosting my interest in doing research in this field. am doing a project on synthesis of silver nanoparticles and i have synthesized it. now i want to view the particle size under TEM and SEM. it will be very kind of you if you can help me in telling how to prepare the samples for TEM and SEM.
