Nanostructured Integrated Circuit Detects Type and Severity of Cancer (PhysOrg)
(PhysOrg.com) — A team of investigators from the University of Toronto have used nanomaterials to develop an inexpensive microchip sensitive enough to quickly determine the type and severity of a patient’s cancer so that the disease can be detected earlier for more effective treatment. Their work, reported in two papers published in the journals... »
Chemical Approach For Treating Retinal Degenerative Diseases (Medical News Today)
Inspired by nature’s complex mechanism of converting visual information into chemical signals at the nerve junction, a group of University of Illinois at Chicago researchers is studying a chemical approach to treating retinal diseases in which neurotransmitters would be delivered to the retina through specially engineered micro- and nanoscale implanted devices.
