Spinach and Nanodiamonds? New Biosensor Can Finally Detect Ironlevel in Blood Accurately

Lack of iron—caused by malnutrition—can lead to anemia while an increased level of iron may signal the presence of an acute inflammatory response. Therefore, the blood iron level is an important medical diagnostic agent.

Single Biomolecule Detection Capability Shown With New Nano-Tool

A single cell in our body is composed of thousands of millions of different biomolecules that work together in an extremely well-coordinated way. Likewise, many biological and biochemical reactions occur only if molecules are present at very high concentrations. Understanding how all these molecules...

Insulin Injections Could be Replaced by Automatic Nanoparticle-Network

Scientists have developed a network of nanoscale particles with the ability to release insulin exactly when needed over a period of several days in a development that could radically simplify diabetes treatment. The sophisticated complex can be injected into the body were it simulates the natural fu...

DNA Nanotrains Drive Toxic Loads of Drugs Right Into Cancer Cells

As a promising tool against cancer, DNA nanotechnology is a new way to deliver chemotherapy directly to cancer cells, but until now, scientists have not been able to direct nanotherapies to consistently differentiate cancer cells from healthy ones. Other limiting factors include high costs, too-smal...
