Novel nanomedicine prolongs survival of pancreatic tumor-bearing mice   A new Tel Aviv University study pinpoints the inverse correlation between a known oncogene -- a gene that promotes the development of cancer -- and the expression of an oncosuppressor microRNA as the reason for extended pancreatic cancer survival.       Chinese researchers develop multifunctional vehicle to transport gene therapeutics   Gene editing is one of the hottest topics in cancer research. A Chinese research team has now developed a gold-nanoparticle-based multifunctional vehicle to transport the "gene scissors" to the tumor cell genome.

Label-free Protein Microarray Techniques   Advances in material science combined with nanofabrication and computational design have led to the discovery of label-free protein microarray techniques. These techniques are of enormous benefit for protein profiling, biomarker screening, drug discovery, drug target identification, and for our knowledge of signaling pathways in disease.         Macrophage nanosponges offer promising solution for effectively managing sepsis   A team of researchers at the University of California San Diego has developed macrophage "nanosponges" that can safely absorb and remove molecules from the bloodstream that are known to trigger sepsis.         Researchers create ‘protocells’ for delivering drugs to deepest tumor regions   Despite herculean efforts, cancer remains a formidable disease, with each malignant subtype responding differently to therapeutics.

Researchers develop adhesive materials to prevent bracket stains on teeth   Researchers from Valencia (Spain), London (England) and Sul (Brazil) have performed research to develop adhesive materials that will prevent white stains from appearing on the teeth of people who use brackets.       Study highlights new long-acting approach for prevention of malaria   A new study, published in Nature Communications, conducted by the University of Liverpool and the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine highlights a new 'long acting' medicine for the prevention of malaria.
