This issue of Nano attacks cancer. We examine advances in nanotechnology from diagnosis and imaging to drug delivery and therapy that could provide real solutions to finally overcoming this devastating disease.
Much research is being conducted into the design of intelligent drug delivery systems that will carry and deposit therapeutics to where they are needed in the body, without affecting or harming any other cells in the body.
Ancient medicine is finding its place in modern science as researchers in India and America explore the development of a novel cancer therapy that combines the curry spice turmeric with advances in nanomedicine.
A multidisciplinary team of UCLA scientists have successfully differentiated metastatic cancer cells from normal cells in patient samples using leading-edge nanotechnology that measures the softness of the cells. The method could provide a new diagnostic tool for cancer.
The first cochlear implants to restore hearing to the deaf were developed by Graeme Clark at the University of Melbourne in Australia more than 30 years ago and are today in widespread use around the globe.
