GreenMark Biomedical’s nanoparticle technology could change the game for tooth decay detection
East Lansing-based GreenMark Biomedical Inc. is an entrepreneurial example of how “it takes a village.” The company, which got approval from the Food and Drug Administration in March for dentists to use its oral rinse made with starch nanoparticles to detect tooth decay much earlier than previously possible, has raised or won more than $6 …
Nanoparticle Developed To Tackle Leukemia Treatment Resistance
UConn associate professor of pharmaceutics Xiuling Lu, along with professor of chemistry Rajeswari M. Kasi, was part of a team that recently published a paper in Nature Cell Biology finding a commonly used chemotherapy drug may be repurposed as a treatment for resurgent or chemotherapy-resistant leukemia. One of the largest problems with cancer treatment is the …
Surprise From Ring-Shaped Nanoparticle Leads to Improved Quantum Information Technology
This is an artistic rendering of semiconductor quantum rings being illuminated by a laser and emitting single photons. Credit: Argonne National Laboratory Breaking of rotational symmetry in ring-shaped nanoparticle leads to surprising quantum property when illuminated with laser. Particles that are mere nanometers in size are at the forefront of scientific research today. They come …
