Cur – A Compound in Turmeric Has Shown the Potential to Kill Breast Cancer Cells
Alternative therapy has been around for ages, to treat different disorders and medicinal plants are one of those. Medicinal plants have been used for treating illnesses since the beginning of human civilization. The...
Discovery of Nanobodies Against All Variants of Human Beta Coronavirus
Antibodies are an integral component of the human immune system, they are infection-fighting proteins, that have specificity and strong affinity of attachment to their respective proteins. The same theory is applied in...
Lighting the way to selective membrane imaging
Researchers at Kanazawa University monitored the emission of blue-green light from water-soluble tetraphenylethene molecules adsorbed at a phospholipid-adsorbed liquid-liquid interface made to resemble a biomembrane...
Poly (caprolactone-trifumarate) can be efficiently used in bone tissue engineering
Osteoprogenitor cells are the stem cells that exist in bone and generate osteoblasts. They are derived from ancient mesenchymal cells. Accordingly, establishing a new biocompatible material is mandatory that at as a...
Nano-Carrier Delivers Medications to Cells
The human body is made up of billions of cells. In the case of cancer, the genome of several of these cells is changed pathologically so that the cells divide in an uncontrolled manner. The cause of virus infections is...
Nano-Thermometers for Many Applications
NIST researchers are in the early stages of a massive undertaking to design and build a fleet of tiny ultra-sensitive thermometers. If they succeed, their system will be the first to make real-time measurements of...
Killing Cancer Cells Without Using Drugs
The researchers created their ‘Trojan horse’ nanoparticle by coating it with a specific amino acid — L-phenylalanine — that cancer cells rely on, along with other similar amino acids, to survive...
Nanoscale Machines Convert Light Into Work
“Our work addresses a long-standing goal in the nanoscience community to create self-assembling nanoscale machines that can perform work in conventional environments such as room temperature liquids,” said...
