New blood filtering system claims to use magnetic nanoparticles to remove pathogens
Researchers designed a new blood filtration system that uses magnetic nanoparticles to remove pathogens and cancer cells from the blood. Called MediSieve, the system works by connecting a patient to the same machine used for hemodialysis. As blood passes through the machine, magnetic particles selectively bind to harmful molecules present in the blood. The researchers are currently testing the technology on malaria, … Continue reading New blood filtering system claims to use magnetic nanoparticles to remove pathogens
Clusia studartiana compounds found to be toxic to melanoma and leukemia cells
Brazilian researchers isolated triterpenes from Clusia studartiana and evaluated their cytotoxicity in vitro. They reported their findings in an article published in the Journal of Medicinal Plants Research. Plants in the Clusiaceae (garcinia) family are spread throughout tropical and temperate zones. Many of them contain a variety of triterpenes, which have been reported as selective anti-tumor agents. For their study, … Continue reading Clusia studartiana compounds found to be toxic to melanoma and leukemia cells
Demethylating Agent May Boost Chemotherapy Effectiveness for Specific Type of Childhood Leukemia
