Next Generation of Heart Stents Uses Magnetic Particles
Posted on 2009-09-23 08:15:50 in Biotechnology | Cardio-Vascular |

Magnetic particles may offer a radical improvent in heart stent technology.  This next generation of heart stents may replace the current technology, which depends on a process whereby endothelial cells coat stents and blood vessels heal, a process that typically takes weeks.  Magnetic stents appear to accelerate the process of healing after a stent is placed.

Magnetically Charged Nanoparticles Offer New Drug Delivery Technique for Chronic Conditions
Posted on 2009-09-22 15:25:28 in Biotechnology | Cancer | Diabetes | Pain Management |

Conditions such as chronic pain, cancer and diabetes, require medications that cannot be taken orally, but must be dosed intermittently, on an as-needed basis, over a long period of time. Researchers led by Daniel Kohane, from Children's Hospital Boston (Massachusetts, USA) have devised an innovative drug delivery technique to turn dosing on and off, deliver consistent doses and adjust doses according to the patient's need.

Could a protein injection replace bypass surgery to treat heart disease?
Posted on 2009-08-17 23:04:08 in Biotechnology | Cardio-Vascular | Longevity and Age Management | Stroke |
A researcher at the Tel Aviv University's Sackler School of Medicine has already shown a protein injection in the legs of mice with diseased blood vessels can stimulate the growth of new healthy blood vessels. Next, she will see if the same technique results in the restoration of blood flow for those with heart disease. Continue reading…

High resolution X-ray imaging may help detect early stage Alzheimer's
Posted on 2009-06-24 09:28:34 in Alzheimer's Disease | Biotechnology | Imaging Techniques | Longevity and Age Management |
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed an X-ray machine with the high quality resolution needed to track dense areas of protein that form in the brain of patients with Alzheimer's disease. The imaging technique may enable doctors to be able to identify the disease before it progresses. Continue reading…
