StemCells Therapy

Bacterial magnets and the bio-computer era By Raja Murthy MUMBAI – Scientists are working to have some of the world’s smallest creatures carry the growing mountain-loads of information worldwide – the next generation of information technology and medical devices based on bacteria, biology and billions of years of evolution. Researchers from Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology and University of Leeds are studying bacteria that produce magnets, and how these can be used to produce faster, cheaper, environmentally friendly electronics and computers. Magnetospirilllum magneticum are the microbial heroes in this story.

(ISNS) — No longer the stuff of science fiction, nanoparticles are becoming more and more common. The extremely tiny objects can do just about everything, from filtering pollution to delivering medicine in the body

The Korea Herald/Asia News Network Thursday, May 10, 2012 Korean scientists have developed technology that can control the way a solid material cracks for the first time in a breakthrough that could have applications in a range of fields from semiconductors to medicine.

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/49pt57/global_market_for) has announced the addition of the “Global Market for Nano Silver” report to their offering.

MEDIA RELEASE IBNs Droplet Array Sheds Light on Drug-Resistant Cancer Stem Cells Singapore, May 9, 2012 Researchers at the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN), the worlds first bioengineering and nanotechnology research institute, have developed a miniaturized biochip for investigating the effect of drugs on cancer stem cells (CSCs). Published recently in Nano Today, this new technology could boost the development of more effective cancer drugs. In a tumor, CSCs form a small and distinct class of cancer cells that are more resistant to chemotherapy.

Category: Science & Technology Posted: May 8, 2012 08:02AM Author: Guest_Jim_* When most people think of the potential uses for microsubmarines, which are one tenth the width of a human hair in length, they most likely envision the tiny vessel swimming through the human body, delivering medicine wherever it is needed. Scientists are not like most people though. As reported in the American Chemical Society’s journal Nano, these technological marvels can be used to clean up oil spills.

3 May 2012 A team of scientists has developed microsubmarines that could help clean up oil spills. According to a statement, a team of scientists has reported the development and successful testing of the first self-propelled microsubmarines designed to pick up droplets of oil from contaminated waters and transport them to collection facilities. The report published in the journal ACS Nano concludes that these tiny machines could play an important role in cleaning up oil spills such as the 2010 Deepwater Horizon incident in the Gulf of Mexico.
