Microbial Mules: Engineering Bacteria to Transport Nanoparticles and Drugs

Tiny robots that swim through our blood vessels attacking viruses and malignant cells have not quite crossed the line that separates science fiction from science–but there might be a way to jump-start their development. [More] View full post on Scientific American Topic – Nanotechnology

Multifunctional Pharmaceutical Nanocarriers

Product DescriptionVarious pharmaceutical nanocarriers, such as nanospheres, nanocapsules, liposomes, micelles, cell ghosts, lipoproteins and some others are widely used for experimental (and already clinical) delivery of therapeutic and diagnostic agents. The use of nanoparticulate pharmaceutical carriers to enhance the in vivo efficiency of many drugs well established itself over the past decade both in pharmaceutical [...]

The Handbook of Nanomedicine

Product DescriptionNanomedicine is clinical medicine with the application of nanobiotechnology, which is currently being used to research the pathomechanism of disease, refine molecular diagnostics, and aid in the discovery, development and delivery of drugs. In The Handbook of Nanomedicine, Prof. Kewal K. Jain distills the voluminous literature relevant to the subject into one concise, comprehensive [...]

Green Chemistry: Scientists Devise New “Benign by Design” Drugs, Paints, Pesticides and More

Back in the days when better living through chemistry was a promise, not a bitter irony, nylon stockings replaced silk, refrigerators edged out iceboxes, and Americans became increasingly dependent on man-made materials. Today nearly everything we touch–clothing, furniture, carpeting, cabinets, lightbulbs, paper, toothpaste, baby teethers, iPhones , you name it–is synthetic. The harmful side effects [...]

Chiral mesoporous silica behaves as a carrier of chiral drugs
