Nanotechnology treatment shows promise against multiple sclerosis

A nanotechnology treatment derived from bone marrow stem cells has reversed multiple sclerosis symptoms in mice and could eventually be used to help humans.

Nanostructures make the deep-sea dragonfish's teeth transparent

Researchers have discovered what?s responsible for making the teeth of the deep-sea dragonfish transparent. This unique adaptation, which helps camouflage the dragonfish from their prey, results from their teeth having an unusually crystalline nanostructure mixed with amorphous regions.

DNA nanorobots target HER2-positive breast cancer cells

Researchers have developed a DNA nanorobot that recognizes HER2 on breast cancer cells, targeting them for destruction.
