Caltech Researchers Develop Microscopic Microscope
Monday, August 4th, 2008Dr. Changhuei Yang and colleagues at the California Institute of Technology have developed a microscope smaller than a dime that provides high power magnification without the use of lenses.
Dr. Chang, an assistant professor of electrical engineering and bioengineering has dubbed his device an optofluidic microscope. It can be used on a real-time basis to detect […]
ZnO Nanoparticles Shown To Preferentially Kill Cancer Cells
Sunday, August 3rd, 2008Researchers at Boise State University have published research indicating that ZnO nanoparticles have properties that allow them to selectively kill cancerous T-cells while sparing normal healthy cells.
D Wingett and A Punnoose also showed that the effect of ZnO nanoparticles against rapidly proliferating cancer cells is potentiated by linking monoclonal antibodies to tumor-associate proteins, thus increasing the […]
