Madhavi Bhatia, National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research Guwahati Neuroblastoma is a form of solid tumour found in children. It accounts for about 15% of total cancer-related deaths in children. These tumours develop from a certain type of nerve cells and are found in the abdomen. The current treatment for patients with severe neuroblastoma […]
Sapataparna Dasgupta, Bennett University Little study has been done on nanoparticles as biocompatible drug delivery carriers. Cancer, being the most lethal disease and the greatest cause of death worldwide, emerges as the most researched disease in the current scenario. Amongst cancer, breast cancer stands to be the leading cause of death for women all over […]
Priasha Dutta, Amity University Kolkata The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is currently raging across our country, and in its most lethal form by far. While scientists are still carrying out extensive research for a permanent one-size-fits-all cure, there are other forms of treatment and prevention strategies. They include vaccine development, designing of macromolecular neutralizing antibodies, and […]
Anannya Roy, Amity University Kolkata A nanoparticle is a source of matter whose diameter lies in the range of 1 to 100 meters. They are interesting substances and are very useful in the field of biomaterial sciences. Graphene flakes are one of the most perfect nanoparticles, they are effective, reversible, and have non-harmful action, but […]
Sagnik Nag , Amity University, Kolkata Hemodialysis is a treatment procedure wherein the blood is filtered from metabolic wastes and water, exactly mimicking the work of our healthy kidneys. Recently Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) researchers have claimed to discover that the carbon nanotube membrane pores would enable ultra-rapid dialysis processes which would efficiently reduce […]
