  • Priya Menon Top 10 Medical Innovations for 2013 by Cleveland Clinic
    , November 20, 2012 Scientific Media Editor at Curetalk

    I have wanted to share this list of best medical innovations for 2013 released by Cleveland Clinic at the beginning of this month for quite some time. The list is based on latest research and is voted for by physicians and researchers at the clinic from among 250 ideas submitted by their colleagues. The main [...]

  • Priya Menon Detecting Cancer Dust/Microvesicles In Blood To Diagnose Brain Cancer Using Novel Nanotechnology and NMR Based Device
    , November 15, 2012 Scientific Media Editor at Curetalk

    Yesterday, I wrote about the new technique of detecting microvesicles or cancer dust in the blood thereby making it easy to monitor and detect brain tumor/glioma. The technique used to detect cancer dust is based on a combination of nanotechnology and a NMR based device. Researchers at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Center for Systems [...]

    The field of nanomedicine has seen explosive growth in areas such as targeted drug delivery, controlled and sustained drug release, tissue engineering, and in vitro and in vivo diagnostics and imaging. The treatment of cancer is more  successful when cancer is diagnosed at an early stage, but majority of cases are diagnosed after tumors have metastasized, making [...]

  • Varun Arora Nanotechnology Drug Delivery Systems: An Insight
    , October 17, 2012

    One of the most important applications of nanotechnology in medicine involves use of nanoparticles to deliver drugs, and other therapeutic substances to specific types of cells (such as cancer cells). Nanosized structures and devices are smaller than human cells which are around 10,000 nm in diameter and similar in size to biomolecules such as enzymes, proteins (hemoglobin [...]

  • Priya Menon Rapid Diagnosis Of Rare Diseases In Infants Through DNA Sequencing
    , October 5, 2012 Scientific Media Editor at Curetalk

    Letting go of your precious baby without knowing what ails him/her is among the most painful of all situations that parents may have to deal with. There are so many genetic causes that medical science has yet to discover and as stated in the New York Times, ‘about one in 20 babies in newborn intensive [...]

  • Kimberly Blozie Microscopes and Regenerative Medicine
    , September 19, 2012

    Regenerative medicine is a cutting edge field of research. For those of you who may not know, regenerative medicine utilizes stem cells to regenerate or replace normal functioning to damaged or diseased tissues and organs. Regenerative medicine points to a time when we will be able to order replacement organs and tissues when our original [...]
