Living with a brain disorder often means relying on medication that does not work for everyone and, in some cases, surgery. EU-funded researchers are now investigating whether nanotechnology could one ...

Scientists may have just taken a major step toward reversing Alzheimer's disease, at least in mice. A new study led by researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) and West ...

When rats breathed in nano-size materials at a concentration routinely inhaled by factory welders, the tiny particles followed a rapid and efficient pathway from the nasal cavity to several regions of ...

DNA nanopyramids slip through the brain's protective barrier and release cancer drugs only when they detect the acidic ...

Technology created at the University of Queensland could improve the odds of surviving brain cancer and change how we treat a ...

Nanomedicine. 2012;7(8):1225-1233. Most of the strategies described for the passage of drugs across the BBB can be enhanced by nanotechnology and some of the mechanisms involved include: NPs open the ...

Top) 1. Selective expression of nano-magnetoreceptors only in desired target neurons in a mouse model with applied Cre-loxP genetic engineering technology. 2. When rotational magnetic field ...
