Jul 26, 2019 (Nanowerk News) Cancer cells are co-evolved with diverse stromal cells to promote their progression and metastasis. The diverse stroma cells and multiple extracellular matrix (ECM) components form an abominable barrier of tumor stroma, which severely hampers intratumoral drug penetration and accessibility to cancer cells. Although nanosized formulations...

Home > Press > Imprinted spheres fight breast cancer: Inhibition of HER2 on tumor cells by molecularly imprinted nanoparticles© Wiley-VCH Abstract:A particularly aggressive, metastasizing form of cancer, HER2-positive breast cancer, may be treated with nanoscopic particles "imprinted" with specific binding sites for the receptor molecule HER2. As reported by...

Jul 12, 2019 (Nanowerk News) Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have made the first-ever observations of a circumplanetary disk, the planet-girding belt of dust and gas that astronomers strongly theorize controls the formation of planets and gives rise to an entire system of moons, like those found...

Home > Press > Super-resolution microscopy illuminates associations between chromosomesStructural Illumination super-resolution microscopy (SIM) images of mitotic chromosomes from human cells, showing rDNA-linked chromosomes. rDNA was labeled with rDNA probe and UBF antibody (green and red). Both rDNA and UBF form filamentous connections between chromosomes. CREDIT Gerton LabAbstract:Thanks to...

Jul 04, 2019 (Nanowerk News) Physicists from the Dresden Integrated Center for Applied Physics and Photonic Materials (IAPP) and the Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden (cfaed) at the TU Dresden, together with researchers from Tübingen, Potsdam and Mainz were able to demonstrate how electronic energies in organic semiconductor films can...

Jul 03, 2019 (Nanowerk News) One of the main cause of global warming is the increase in the atmospheric CO2 level. The main source of this CO2 is from the burning of fossil fuels (electricity, vehicles, industry and many more). Researchers at TIFR have developed the solution phase synthesis of...
