Potential of Porous Silicon Doped With Gold Nanoparticles in Detection of Biogenic Amine. Porous Silicon Used in the Detect   Authored by Francisco Severiano Carrillo Due to its properties porous silicon is a material with high potential to be applied in bio-delivery carriers and biosensors. To enhancement the capacity of porous silicon as biosensor, gold nanoparticles are introduced in its structure. One of the most used methods to obtain porous silicon/Au nanoparticles is metal salt-assisted chemical etching. The high surface of porous silicon matrix and the Au nanoparticles allow the increment of the sensitivity of the biosensor. This structure can be use as platform to got a biogenic amine optic biosensors. This kind of sensors (optic) are based on the changes of the signals related to the reactions between biogenic amines and the recognized element used (diamine oxidase). To Read More...

Nanotechnology and Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Regenerative Medicine Authored by Ana I Flores Nanotechnology has emerged as an area with great potential for the treatment of several human diseases. The use of nanobiomaterials, drug delivery systems, gene therapies, diagnostic and surgical robotic tools, nanobiomedical devices, amongst others, is called nanomedicine or bio-nanotechnology in healthcare. It has been shown that stem cells have an important reparative potential for restoring the function of injured tissues and organs. Nanotechnology and stem cell research are two interesting fields that are gradually becoming a newly merged field of modern research. This novel field, stem cell nanotechnology, has generated high interest in human healthcare because it could result in significant contributions in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells or mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are a special type of stem cell with some interes...

Synthesis and Characterization of Pure and Co doped Zinc oxide Authored by Jyotsna Chauhan Present work is a study on synthesis and Characterization of pure ZnO and Co doped nanoparticles by using chemical co-precipitation method. We have doped pure ZnO with Co by 3% mole concentration. Structural and optical properties of these nanoparticles are analyzed by using XRD, UV-Visible spectroscopy. We found the crystallite size of range 20 nm to 30 nm. To Read More.... PHP in  Global Journal of Nanomedicine in Juniper Publishers  

Biodegradable Topical Nanogels in the Treatment of Skin and Superficial Tumors Authored by Arun K Iyer Nanogels are nano-sized three-dimensional polymer networks engineered by physical or chemical cross-linking of individual polymer chains loaded with drugs and nucleotides that swells in a good solvent.

Nano Chemotherapy: An Emergent Anti-Cancer Modality Authored by Alain L Fymat The notion that even relatively indiscriminate cytotoxic agents discovered largely by accident would cure cancer continues to captivate oncology. Thus, with a three-drug cocktail called BVP (bleomycin, vinblastine, cisplatin abbreviated P for platinum), metastatic testes cancer can be cured, and a high-dose cocktail of seven drugs can cure Burkitt’s lymphoma. From there, an avalanche of such drugs have poured in: taxol, Adriamycin, etoposide, bleomycin (an antibiotic), and an alphabet soup of other combinations (ABVD, BEP, C-POMP, ChlaVIP, CHOP, ACT). Yet, despite these successes and the escalation of drugs and doses, the efficacy of the drug regimen remains minimal. The pattern repeats itself regularly for many forms of cancer. Fortunately, through the ability of nano particles and the nano devices that deliver these drugs more efficiently and more judiciously at tumor sites, nano chemot...

Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles using Hybanthusenneaspermus Plant Extract against Nosocomial Pathogens with Nanofinished Antimicrobial Cotton Fabric Authored by Sankareswaran M Nosocomial infection is defined as an infection which develops 48 hours after hospital admission or within 48 hours after being discharged that was not incubating at the time of admission at hospital. Nosocomial infections (NI) are frequent complications of hospitalizations. The issue has been recognized for more than a century as a critical problem affecting the quality of health care and a principal source of adverse outcomes. Medicinal plants are plants containing inherent active ingredients used to cure disease or relieve pain. The main objective of this research is to impart antimicrobial finish to cotton fabrics and to produce medical apparel from the finished fabrics. Thus the present study provided different products of medical ...

Controlling Amphiphilic Functional Block Copolymers’ Self-Assembly: From Structure to Size Authored by Fei Liu Nanostructure of self-assembled particles, such as micelles and polymersomes play an important role in drug delivery, especially in tumor therapy. Particles with various structures and proper sizes (20~500 nm) are regarded as perfect candidates for controlled drug delivery due to controllable size that benefits the extended permeation and retention (EPR) and high payload that increases drug delivery efficiency. In this review, we summarized recent representative studies in controlling the size and structure of Amphiphilic block copolymers self-assembled particles with pH- and temperature responsiveness.

Cancer Nanotechnology: The Recent Developments in the Cancer Therapy Authored by Gandhali A Deshpande The nanotechnology is prominent in medicine for various applications. Nanotechnology is a multidisciplinary field, which covers diverse arrays of devices made using principles of engineering, biology, physics, and chemistry. The increasing number of nanomedicines is approved clinically, used safely, which highlights the important role of nanotechnology in the field of cancer research. The successful application of nanotechnology to the targeted smart drug therapy ISA rapidly growing component of armamentarium against cancer. Nanotechnology is being applied to cancer in two broad areas: the development of nanovectors, such as nanoparticles, which can be loaded with drugs or imaging agents and then targeted to tumors, and high throughput nanosensor devices for detecting the biological signatures of cancer. This advanced technology provides a unique approach and comprehensive...
