Nanocure to deadly viruses found?
russiatoday.com May 25th, 2009 Leo Rasnetsov, a self-dubbed Russian nanowizard, claims to have used nanotechnology to find cheap solutions to HIV and flu viruses. But many scientists have already written off his potions as pure hocus pocus. Nanotechnology holds many promises for future innovations, from medical cures to the manufacture of consumer goods. A businessman-turned-scientist, Rasnetsov makes suppositories and mouthwash. But in his former military factory, he says he's all ready for his nano-debut. "This is not a vaccine, this is a universal remedy for all types of flu virus of group A nanoparticles which would target the virus safely. The sooner we get to work, the more lives we can save," Rasnetsov claims.

Going Nano
mydigitalfc.com May 25th, 2009 By Varun Dutt: As the first set of new products hit the Indian market, concerns have been raised about nanotechnology's toxicity and environmental impact. Nanotechnology is the control of matter at the atomic or molecular level, less than the size of 100 nanometers -that's one billionth of a metre, or 40,000 times smaller than the human hair. It has the potential to create many new materials and devices with wide-ranging applications. Yet it has also raises many of the issues which any new technology triggers, including concerns about toxicity and environmental impact of nanomaterials. The Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies, a US-based non-profit body says that around 1,000 new nanotech products are currently available globally, hitting the market at a pace of three to four a week. According to American Elements, a leading manufacturer of advanced products, thousands of nanoparticles, nanopowders and nanotubes products are already playing a significant role in industry, environment, medicine, science and even at home. For the developing world, nanotech has its own set of benefits and risks. In a country like India, it may provide new solutions for the millions who lack access to basic services, such as safe water, reliable energy, health care, and education. The 2004 UN task force on science, technology and innovation noted that some of the advantages of nanotech include high productivity, low cost, and modest requirements for materials and energy. Also, it uses less labour, requires less land and lower maintenance. But the benefits should be seen against the potential risk to the environment, human health and worker safety. At the moment, though, most of the fears are just that—fears. But there's a great challenge before the manufacturers on how to deal with nanopollution. Perhaps there's a need for regulation in this area which could then restore the balance between the benefits and costs — and release the technology to usher in the brave new world it has promised.

Nanotechnology: Saving Lives, Taking Lives?
transworldnews.com May 26th, 2009 This past week, Nanobiotix, a fledgling nanomedicine company, released findings in regards to results obtained during pre-clinical trials that tested the company's patented nanoXray™ therapeutics platform to fight cancerous tumors. The pre-clinical investigation, which was performed at Institute Gustav Roussy in Villejuif, France, showed that an intratumoral injection of NBTXR3 nanoparticles and activated via standard radiation therapy led to complete tumor regression in mice at 60 days, compared to zero tumor regression in mice treated with x-ray only or NBTXR3 only. Researchers at Nanobiotix tout the usefulness of nano-rays as part of a new innovation in cancer therapy, namely a technology that kills cancer cells only and not the healthy tissue that surrounds them. "We are extremely excited by these preclinical results, which demonstrate the novel therapeutic effect of nanoparticles on human tumor models," said Laurent L�vy, Ph.D., President and CEO of Nanobiotix and Co-President of the French Technology Platform on Nanotechnology (FTPN).

From plastics to nanotechnology: Portland State professor Mingdi Yan among leaders in nanotech research
dailyvanguard.com May 27th, 2009 Imagine a future 25 years from now: Many forms of cancer have a cure, every house glistens with solar panels providing carbon-free energy. Water is filtered by nanoparticles. It is a golden age of science and medicine. That is the future that nanotechnology—the study of how to control matter on a molecular level—is working toward. This technology has quickly risen to the forefront of scientific research, with advances being made all the time, including at Portland State. Portland State chemistry professor Dr. Mingdi Yan noted the shift of focus over the past few decades from revolutionary plastics to dynamically flexible nanoparticles. Leading researchers, including Yan, believe that nanotechnology could hold the key to energy efficiency, cancer treatment, and much more. The United States has even invested federal funds in research initiatives to explore the new technology. Yan's field of nanotechnology is "surface chemistry." She explains that all matter has a surface that can be seen but it also has other entities that interact with the surface. According to the Web site for the National Nanotechnology Initiative, the federally funded research program, "Nanotechnology is the understanding and control of matter at dimensions between approximately 1 and 100 nanometers, where unique phenomena enable novel applications." Yan explained that this seemingly complicated science is frequently applied to medical science. Implants are the first thing that Yan mentioned. With medical implants the body attaches to a foreign material, and if the body rejects it, the implant doesn't work, she said. However, if chemists can put a surface coat on the implant that tells the biological system "I'm OK", that would be a technological advance, Yan said. In drug delivery, nanocoating can become a carrier attached to medicines that target specific tumors and essentially chaperones the drug to its target, she explained.
