A sponge-like gold nanoparticle platform could deliver faster, more accurate, and less invasive ovarian cancer diagnostics.

Spherical and star-shaped gold nanoparticles (top) and colon cancer cells after approx. five hours of exposure to them (bottom, respectively). The photo in the bottom left corner proves that, despite ...

Detecting cancer in the earliest stages could dramatically reduce cancer deaths because cancers are usually easier to treat when caught early. To help achieve that goal, MIT and Microsoft researchers ...

Health care professionals use tiny particles of gold (nanoparticles) for a variety of medical applications—from diagnostic imaging to cancer treatment. Gold works well for these applications because ...

According to a study published in Advanced Functional Materials on November 24 th, 2024, a group of researchers led by Assistant Professor Andy Tay from the Department of Biomedical Engineering in the ...

Gold nanoparticles that cluster in response to T cell enzymes can predict cancer immunotherapy success days before tumors ...

Purdue University researchers are developing and validating patent-pending poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid), or PLGA, nanoparticles modified with adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, to enhance immunotherapy ...

A class of ultrasmall fluorescent core-shell silica nanoparticles developed at Cornell is showing an unexpected ability to ...

Prem Singh dips what looks suspiciously like a Slurpee straw into a bottle of white powder and taps it onto a lab scale. “We are synthesizing magnetic nanoparticles,” the Oregon State University ...

In the form of a 'nasal spray', tiny gold particles act as carriers, delivering a treatment directly to the brain: developed by scientists at the Università Cattolica Rome campus/Fondazione ...
