(PhysOrg.com) -- Going smaller could bring better results, especially when it comes to cancer-fighting drugs. http://www.physorg.com/news176196750.html Nanotechnology Sat, 31 Oct 2009 08:41:11 EST news176196750 (PhysOrg.com) -- Electrical engineering researchers at the University of Arkansas have demonstrated that magnetic nanotubes combined with nerve growth factor can enable specific cells to differentiate into neurons. The results from in vitro studies show that magnetic nanotubes may be exploited to treat neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson`s disease and Alzheimer`s disease because they can be used as a delivery vehicle for nerve growth factor. http://www.physorg.com/news151077655.html Nanotechnology Tue, 13 Jan 2009 14:00:55 EST news151077655
