Inductive Nano Targeted Electromagnetic Therapy

Meymanat M., Zanjan University of Medical Sciences, Zanjan, Iran, IR

A Biofunctionalized conductor Nano-Particle which can be made of ferromagnetic and conductor materials, capable to attach specifically biologic targets in vivo and in vitro by using molecules for specific attachment (such as monoclonal antibody) is [...]

Peptide Nucleic Acids Modified Nano-Biosensor for Early Cancer Diagnosis

Rastogi S., Mishra N., Winterrowd P., Nelson R., Maki W., University of Idaho, US

Epigenetics is proving to have an increasingly important role in both human development and disease, particularly cancer. DNA methylation is one of two epigenetic alterations. A distinct set of tumor types has a high level [...]

High Speed Processing of Large Amount of Bio-Nano Imaging Data for Cancer Research

Wang G., Wang M., Wang G., Wang M., Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University, US

Bionanotechnologies such as quantum dots (QDs) or molecular beacons have generated huge amount of nanoimaging data to study in vitro and in vivo cell behavior for disease early diagnosis and therapeutic drug target. These images [...]

Fluorescent Silica Beads for Detection of Cervical Cancer

Iyer S., Kievesky Ya., Woodworth C.D., Sokolov I., Clarkson University, US

We present the use of self-assembled fluorescent silica (glass) bids for detection of cervical cancer. The cells from three different individuals (3 normal and 3 tumor) were tested for affinity by using the bids, a [...]
