by Adrianna MacPherson, University of Alberta Researchers at the University of Alberta have found a way to deliver anti-cancer drugs with more precision, which could increase the effectiveness of many cancer treatments. U of A oncologist Frank Wuest altered the surface of nanoparticles, which are well suited to deliver drugs, with epidermal growth factor (EGF),...
Published on ACS Nano, journal of the American Chemical Society, the study opens important perspectives for treatment of diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Huntington’s disease, but also epilepsy, brain trauma and stroke. ISTITUTO ITALIANO DI TECNOLOGIA – IIT CREDIT: IIT-ISTITUTO ITALIANO DI TECNOLOGIA Lecce, 25th June 2020 – Gold nanoparticles have been developed in the...
Traversing the blood-brain barrier is a challenge for drug developers. Now, after testing the method in locusts, a team of engineers shows how an aerosol nasal spray containing gold nanoparticles may offer a non-invasive and rapid way to deliver drugs to the brain. Researchers suggest that delivering drugs to the brain using nanoparticles in a...
