Nanotechnology shows promise as next wrinkle fighter

01-15-2007 · EurekAlert!

The next big idea in preventing wrinkles is very, very small.Nano small.A Michigan State University chemical engineer has discovered that nanoparticles can stop thin polymer films from buckling and wrinkling, and that could well work to join the war by warding off dreaded buckles in human skin.

Bone-growing nanomaterial could improve orthopaedic implants
09-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
Bone-forming cells grow faster and produce more calcium on anodized titanium covered in carbon nanotubes compared with plain anodized titanium and the non-anodized version currently used in orthopaedic implants, new Brown University research shows. The work, published in Nanotechnology, uncovers a new material that can be used to make more successful implants. The research also shows tantalizing promise for an all-new device: a "smart" implant that can sense and report on bone growth.

New treatment for glaucoma shows promise in laboratory, say Iowa State researchers
08-01-2007 · EurekAlert!
Iowa State University researchers developed a new technique that successfully treated rats for blindness caused by glaucoma. They previously determined that animals with glaucoma increase production of neurotrophins in an attempt to shield against blindness. They imitated that process in the laboratory, modifying bone marrow-derived stem cells and transplanting them into the eyes. Their experimental treatment will be used on dogs in the next year. If successful, it is expected to move to human trials.

Novel MS drug shows promise in 2 lethal leukemias
08-28-2007 · EurekAlert!
A new study suggests that an experimental drug being tested for the treatment of multiple sclerosis and to prevent organ rejection might also help people with certain deadly forms of chronic and acute leukemia. The laboratory and animal study focused on the drug, called fingolimod. Researchers said it might help patients with advanced chronic myelogenous leukemia or acute lymphocytic leukemia, and whose cancer cells show a particular genetic change called the Philadelphia chromosome.

Toward improved forms of a time-tested cholesterol-fighter
03-27-2007 · EurekAlert!
New discoveries offer promise for developing drugs that improve on the therapeutic profile of niacin, the inexpensive, time-tested B-vitamin that boosts levels of HDL cholesterol -- the "good" cholesterol with the potential to protect people against heart attacks and stroke. Research will be described during the March national meeting of the American Chemical Society in Chicago.

Bypassing eggs, flu vaccine grown in insect cells shows promise
04-10-2007 · EurekAlert!
An experimental flu vaccine made in insect cells -- not in eggs, where flu vaccines currently available in the United States are grown -- is safe and as effective as conventional vaccines in protecting people against the flu. Removing eggs from the flu vaccine manufacturing process could allow a vaccine to be produced in large amounts much more quickly, a key advantage if a bird flu pandemic were to occur.

New drug combination shows promise for African sleeping sickness
11-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
A small clinical trial in Uganda, conducted within a long-established Medecins Sans Frontieres treatment program for African sleeping sickness, has found that a new combination treatment using the drugs nifurtimox and eflornithine holds promise and deserves further evaluation. Despite the low sample size, the findings were promising: no cases of treatment failure, no treatment terminations, and no HAT- or treatment-related deaths.
