2008-12-23 Artificial human bone
marrow in a test tube |
|
Artificial bone
marrow that can continuously make red and white blood cells has
been created in a University of Michigan lab. This development
could lead to simpler pharmaceutical drug testing, closer study
of immune system defects and a continuous supply of blood for
transfusions. The marrow is not made to be implanted in the
body, like most 3-D biomedical scaffolds. It is designed to
function in a test tube...

2008-11-19 Wearable biosensors
from carbon nanotube thread |
Researchers have coated conventional
cotton thread with highly conductive, biosensing carbon
nanotubes. The threads can be woven into fabrics that are
lightweight and wearable but act as simple, sensitive sensors
that can, among other functions, detect human blood... This is
the first demonstration of biosensing with nanotube textiles.
Carbon nanotubes are being extensively developed for chemical
sensing and clinical diagnostics in part because it's simple to
decorate them with binding molecules like antibodies: when a
target molecule binds to the nanotube, it changes the nanotube's
conductivity in a way that is detectable.

2008-05-20 Fingerprinting
nanoparticles to assess cytotoxicity |
A new study conducted by a joint
U.S. - Irish team has now made the first step toward the
development of both a fast and fairly comprehensive method of
screening of biological activity and cytotoxicity of
nanoparticles....using high content analysis (HCA). HCA is a
marriage between a computer and confocal microscopy, and thus,
it offers substantial advantages in the form of automated
screening and uniform processing of the results. One can quickly
obtain 'fingerprints' of the toxic effects of nanocolloids in
respect to numerous characteristics. The multiparametric nature
of these fingerprints will allow cytotoxicity analyses to be
conducted at much higher throughput and accuracy.
