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 [...]

An EM Transistor Based Brain-Processor Interface

Sklyar R., Independent researcher, UA

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 [...]

The Application of GHMRF to 3-D Synthetic Proliferation

Zubert M., Napieralska M., Napieralski A., Technical University of Lodz, PL

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 [...]

Filamentous Bacterial Viruses Break Down Amyloid Plaques in an Animal Model of Alzheimer’s Disease – A Novel Therapeutic Avenue

Solomon B., Tel Aviv University, IL

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 [...]

Phage reporter biosensing of pathogenic agents

Ripp S., University of Tennessee, US

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, [...]

Use of PBMC Partitioning to Predict RES-Uptake of a Nanoemulsion in a Colon Cancer Xenograft

Devalapally H., Clogston J.D., Amiji M.M., McNeil S., Stern S.T., SAIC-Frederick, National Cancer Institute at Frederick, US

Nanotechnology platforms have emerged as versatile carrier systems for delivery of active molecules to tumors. Nanoparticle-based formulations have demonstrated enhanced efficacy and decreased toxicity in comparison to conventional drugs. These carrier systems often encounter rapid [...]

Carbon Nanotubes as Molecular Nanocarriers for Antibody Delivery and Photothermal Ablation of Breast Cancer Cells

Panchapakesan B., Wickstrom E., University of Louisville, US

In this paper, the utilization of carbon nanotubes as nanocarriers for antibody delivery to IGF1R and HER2 surface receptors and selective thermal ablation of breast cancer cells is presented. IGF1R and Her2 surface receptors are [...]

Method of LANTCET for cancer diagnostics and treatment at cell level

Hleb E.Y., Zastinskaya I.A., Ilyukova I.I., Semenenya I.N., Hafner J.H., Hanna E.Y., Myers J.N., Zhdanok S.A., Lapotko D.O., A. V. Lykov Heat & Mass Transfer Institute, BY

We have developed the method of LANTCET (laser-activated nano-thermolysis as a cell elimination technology) for selective detection and destruction of individual tumor cells by generating intracellular photothermal bubbles around the clusters of gold nanoparticles. Bare [...]

PMMA/SWCNTs Composites for Prostate Brachytherapy MRI Contrast Agent Markers

Martirosyan K.S., Stafford R.J., Elliott A.M., Frank S.J., University of Houston, US

Prostate brachytherapy (PB) is an alternative to traditional external beam radiation or surgery for men who have prostate cancer. PB used implanted radioactive titanium seeds and has increased in popularity over recent years due to [...]
