‘Time bomb’ liquid marbles with Nanoclay for controlled drug delivery
The IIT Guwahati team has designed a non-sticking, non- wetting liquid marble that floats in water and release its contents in a pre-programmed time
Scientists find a new nano-drug delivery route for chemotherapy
Scientists have been looking for nanotechnology-based localised drug delivery systems to target cancer cells alone and minimise side effects. The latest development is a great step forward ....................
A nail polish that helps fight infection too!
Researchers from the Delhi-based Hamdard Institute of Medical Sciences and Research have now developed a novel translucent nail lacquer fortified with an antifungal drug to treat onychomycosis..................
New graphene-based material developed for medical implants
Indian scientists have developed a new material for biomedical applications by combining a graphene-based nanomaterial with Hydroxyapatite (HAp), a commonly used bioceramic in implants.................
New method for controlled-release makes cancer drugs less toxic
Researchers have developed a superstructure of cyclodextrin and polyurethane polymer that acts as a drug depot and releases a drug in a slow and controlled manner, increasing its efficiency...............
Microneedle-based system can take pain away from vaccinations
Microneedle patch technology could offer economic and manufacturing advantages besides reducing the cost of vaccination since self-administration can eliminate the need of health workers for vaccination..................
Eggshell-derived nanoparticles can be used for drug delivery
A team of scientists at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras have developed a method to use eggshells for synthesizing nanoparticles which could later be used for creating a fresh approach to drug delivery mechanism
