Oregon State University researchers have developed a new nanoparticle-based photothermal therapy that uses a low-power laser ...

A near-infrared light beam appears harmless, as it is a low-frequency type of light that does not have a dramatic effect but ...

Photothermal therapies utilize photosensitizing agents to convert applied light into heat. This release of energy results in localized damage to targeted cells or other therapeutic effects. Plasmonic ...

Researchers at Tel Aviv University have developed a new platform using polymeric nanoparticles to deliver drug pairs to specific cancer types, including skin cancer and breast cancer. The researchers ...

When designing a nanoparticle-enabled drug delivery system, many intersecting considerations must be taken into account, such as the target location of the drug payload, the method of delivery, uptake ...

Scientists from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands have identified receptors and proteins that play a role in cells’ internal buildup of nanoparticles. Many of these receptors and proteins ...

Researchers at Oregon State University have developed and tested in a mouse model a new type of nanoparticle that enables the removal of melanoma tumors with a low-power laser. After the systemically ...

Researchers have explored ways to combine these materials into mixed-dimensional heterostructures that could harness the advantages of both. However, controlling the interaction between the components ...

Copper nanoparticles embedded in polypropylene made using beetroot extract show greater antimicrobial activity than comparable silver-based materials or chemically synthesized copper systems, ...

Keroles Riad is the founder and CEO of O Nanotech Solutions, a startup that produces flame-made quantum dots. He also receives funding from NSERC as a Canada Banting Postdoctoral Fellow. He also ...
