Feature | Inhaled Nanocrystalline Silver for Cystic Fibrosis Lung Disease
Robert Allan McKie, MD
Nanocrystalline silver preparations have a number of unique properties that make their use particularly attractive. Nanocrystalline silver is released slowly and avoids the dramatic peaks and troughs of other silver preparations. It has a broad spectrum of activity that includes the organisms that are most problematic in Cystic fibrosis (CF). Nanocrystalline silver appears to have anti-inflammatory properties which may slow some of immune-mediated airway remodeling in CF. more>>> |

A Novel Ultrasonic Method for Characterizing Suspensions of Nanoparticles
Prodyne Corp., and MIT
The UltraSonic Pulsed Doppler technique is a novel ultrasonic-backscatter technique for characterizing nanoparticles. Using a single transducer and able to operate in almost arbitrary vessels on samples over a range of concentrations and opacities, the system can measure concentration, size (with precision exceeding that of DLS) and mechanical compliance (for particle functionalization monitoring). To date, the system has ‘imaged’ dendrimers, colloids, carbon nanotubes, polymer beads and protein

The Regulated Gas Medium with a Set of Nanoparticles Generated by the Solid Fuel Composition as a Method for Producing Ecovegetables
Izhevsk State University, Ltd. “Nord”
New biotechnology involving nanoparticles for the production of ecologically pure vegetables in greenhouses has described. The main feature of the method is the generation of a special controlled gas medium containing nanoparticles of the main macro- and microelements, which freely penetrate into the foliage and stems of crops providing their metabolic activity. The source of the gas medium is the products of self-spreading high-temperature synthesis.

Nanobiotechnologies - Applications, Markets and Companies
The report starts with an introduction to various techniques and materials that are relevant to nanobiotechnology. It includes some of the physical forms of energy such as nanolasers. Some of the technologies are scaling down such as microfluidics to nanofluidic biochips and others are constructions from bottom up. Application in life sciences research, particularly at the cell level sets the stage for role of nanobiotechnology in healthcare in subsequent chapters.

Nano Drug Delivery
This report examines the business opportunities that are being created by nano-engineered solutions for the drug delivery market. According to one source, approximately $65 billion in drug revenues every year are accounted for by pharmaceuticals with poor bio-availability which far too often results in higher patient costs and inefficient treatment but also, more importantly, increased risks of toxicity or even death.
