Revolution in neuroscience: 2D nanomaterials propel advances in brain repair, treatment, and diagnosis

By Dr. Priyom Bose, Ph.D. Jun 11 2023 Reviewed by Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc. Different types of nanomaterials have been used in neuroscience, including two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials widely known for their unique structures and physicochemical properties. In a recent Journal of Nanobiotechnology review, scientists discuss the applications of 2D nanomaterials in neuroscience. Types of 2D nanomaterials...

Nanomaterials for the Clearance of Senescent Cells

Senescent cell accumulation is a contributing cause of aging, and targeted destruction of senescent cells with senolytic therapies produces meaningful rejuvenation and reversal of age-related disease in animal models. First generation senolytics are largely repurposed small molecules. Second generation senolytics will include a range of more carefully designed strategies, including the nanoparticles allowing for selective...
