Removing toxins from blood plasma in Russia

At a 3-day summit in Denver, Colorado, US on renewing energy using nanotechnology, Leonid Melamed, the head of Rosnanotech (the leading nanotechnology institution in Russia), said that nanotechnology will soon allow people to have their blood plasma cleaned from toxins. The treatment will not be expensive at all.

„We should have the project set for testing by December.“, Melamed said.

So far, Russians were able to clean up their blood plasma during a 2-hour session, priced at around US$220 at clinics. It’s an easy way to remove toxins from your body.

Melamed also said that even fitness centers could soon be able to offer this „service“ by using nanotechnology and nanomedicine.

Kidney and pancreatic cancer can be stopped ?

Californian researchers (San Diego) have developed certain nanoparticles which can deliver drugs to stop kidney and pancreatic cancer in mice. The main advantage is that they have less side effects than chemotherapy.

What is specific about these nanoparticles? They can target exactly the cells that cause cancer. The whole system is based on a protein called integrin, which is located on the surface of “bad” cells.

This research at UCSD, that was done by both scientists and oncologists, showed that kidney and pancreatic cancer can be stopped (in mice).

Every day nanomedicine is growing in a positive way. Let’s hope this will soon be available in clinics and applied to humans.

Nanorevolution in India

India is about to change the way it’s citizens live… Improved life standard, easiness to find solutions to health problems, agricultural improvement and much more is about to come.

“Nanorevolution will be much more significant than the IT boom. Just a few countries in the world are leaning on nanotechnology and nanomedicine at the moment, and India is about to join them. Many people don’t realize the true potential of nanotechnology and nanomedicine, but I think India is on the right path.” says Katesh Katti, a professor from USA.

Katti was in India on a 2-day seminar called “Nanotechnology - A gateway to a promising future” organized by SDM College.

It’s also been reported that the Indian ministry of technology decided to spend Rs 1000 crore in the next 5 years for research in the nanotechnology and nanomedicine area.

As Katti said, nanotechnology and nanomedicine have so much potential. As an example, he named the silver nanoparticles who can actually remove all bacterias from an environment. He also noted that nanomedicine is about to change the world — many diseases such as AIDS and cancer could be history if everything goes well.
