Can nanotechnology be used for the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease?

It was recently showed that most of our cells are the source of small nanoscopic particles called exosomes. They play an important role in transmitting signals between our cells and can be found in bodily fluids such as blood and urine Exosomes draw the attention of scientists for their potential use as biomarkers for the diagnosis of various diseases. ...

New developments in the field of nanotechnology – a method that restores vision

Sight is an integral part of life for most animals, but certain individuals are not fortunate enough to see the world in 20/20 vision. Scientists have long tried to develop techniques and technology to improve or completely restore impaired vision. Thanks to the work of Czech scientists there is now a ray of hope for the majority of those with vision-impairments. ...

Using nanotechnology in cardiology – Synthetic nanofiber vascular grafts

An entirely new material was introduced this month that increases the quality of synthetic small-diameter nanofiber vascular grafts. The new nanofiber material reduces the risk of blood clots and complications in heart surgery patients. A scientific team headed by Professor David Lukáš has been working to develop the material for the past five years in cooperation with the scientific team of Associate Professor Lukáš Čapek. ...

Researchers are optimistic that this unique technology will clearly transform the diagnosis and treatment strategies of various fatal illnesses. Some of the possibilities are in a trial stage on the basis of which future evolution is being estimated. Nanotechnology utilizes nanoparticles to fight the disease in human body. ...

Nanotechnology Allowing Image Capture with Atomically Thin Materials

Image capture has become extremely important in the current day and time as it allows visual transferences of information. Technology has progressed enough to allow an endless number of selfies and photos to flood social networks. In addition, images have helped increased society’s knowledge as a whole by allowing people to visualize what is happening in other areas of the world without actually being there. ...
