Phage reporter biosensing of pathogenic agents
Considered the most abundant organism on Earth, at a population approaching 1031, bacteriophage mediate interactions with myriad bacterial hosts that has for decades been exploited in phage typing schemes for signature identification of clinical, foodborne, [...]
Filamentous Bacterial Viruses Break Down Amyloid Plaques in an Animal Model of Alzheimer’s Disease – A Novel Therapeutic Avenue
We present here results suggesting that intranasal administration of wild type M13 bacteriophage may serve as a safe alternative to immunotherapy to disaggregate existing amyloid plaques and prevent formation of new ones, countering the neurodegeneration [...]
The Application of GHMRF to 3-D Synthetic Proliferation
This paper presents a novel hypothetical tissue proliferation model of extraneuronal filaceous material consisting of accumulation of the amyloid beta-proteins. Proposed model is constructed using a 3-D Gaussian Hidden Markov Random Field obtained from fluorescent [...]
An EM Transistor Based Brain-Processor Interface
The external (non-implantable) brain machine interface which based on the array of solid-state electromagnetic transistors (EMTs) has been advanced. Rejection of environmental noise can be improved by measuring a magnetic field difference by the radial [...]
Cytotoxicity of metallic oxide nanoparticles in human neural and non-neural cells
Lai J.C.K., Lai M.B., Jandhyam S., Dukhande V.V., Bhushan A., Daniels C.K., Leung S.W., Lai J.C.K., Lai M.B., Idaho State University College of Pharmacy & Biomedical Research Institute, US
The use of nanomaterials in industrial applications (e.g., drug delivery, additives to drugs and cosmetics) has escalated in the last decade, leading to the possibility of their becoming environmental pollutants. However, these cytotoxic and other [...]
Respiratory Syncytial Virus Inhibition by Gold and Titanium Nanoparticles
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is the leading cause of severe respiratory illnesses including bronchiolitis and pneumonia in young children. The RSV surface proteins F (fusion) and G (attachment) are major targets for vaccine development against [...]
Silver Coated Carbon Nanotubes Inhibit RSV Infection
Adiani L., Subbarayan P., Boyoglu S., Vig K., Pillai S., Rangari V., Singh S.R., Alabama State University, US
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a member of the genus Pneumovirus in the family of Paramyxoviridae. It is one of the most common causes of upper and lower respiratory tract infections, bronchiolitis and pneumonia worldwide [...]
Inhibitory Effects of Gold and Silver Nanoparticles on RSV Studied by Atomic Force
Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) causes severe lower respiratory tract infections in infants which may progress to pneumonia. RSV accounts for approximately 4,500 deaths and 90,000 hospitalizations in infants and children in the United States [...]
Nanotoxicity Assessment toward the Applications of Carbon Nanotubes as a Small Biomolecule Carrier in Drug Delivery Systems
Carbon Nanotube (CNT) materials has superior properties in electric current carrying capacity, thermal conductivity, and thermal stability. Due to their structure with high aspect ratio, they have structural unusual toxicity and complicate safety issue in [...]
Spectrum of Application Magnetite Nanopaticles in Medicine
Nowadays nanotechnology as a new direction of science allows to develop therapeutic methods of the endogenous intoxication syndrome and to create a new class of biocompatible sorbents. In Ukraine first preparations of medical nanotechnology were [...]
Plasmon nanoparticle-generated photothermal bubbles as universal biomedical agents
Hleb E.Y., Yakush N.A., Hafner J.H., Drezek R.A., McNew J.A., Lapotko D.O., A. V. Lykov Heat & Mass Transfer Institute, BY
We report the concept and preliminary experimental evaluation of the new optical methods and agent, whose properties provide tunable effect from non-invasive optical sensing to selective mechanical damage at nano-scale and in living tissues and [...]
Hybrid Nanoparticles Targeted by Antitumor Antibodies and Emitting Alpha-particles
Resheto I.V., Deev S.M., Chuvilin D.Y., Panchenko V.Y., Sukharev S.S., Streltsova E.A., P.A.Hertzen Moscow Research Oncological Institute (MROI), RU
We describe a new therapeutic nanoparticle’s design, which consists of three parts: targeting, effecter and linker. Targeting part: an anti-HER2/neu mini-antibody-barnase fusion protein (4D5 scFv-barnase-His5). The anti-HER2/neu mini-antibody could be used to deliver barnase to [...]
