Nanorobots to improve health care




Using nanorobots to deliver drugs and fight diseases is not a new idea (check here or there). Of course, nanorobots floating inside our bodies to improve our health are still years away. However, an international team of American and Australian researchers is developing a nanorobot hardware architecture for medical defense (PDF format, 1.02 MB). They have developed a nanorobot control design (NCD) software which helps them to simulate the behavior of these future nanorobots. Their 3-D approach shows 'how nanorobots can effectively improve health care and medical defense and should enable innovative real time protection against pandemic outbreaks.' But read more...

Biosensing Nanodevice To Revolutionize Health Screenings
One day soon a biosensing nanodevice may eliminate long lines at airport security checkpoints and revolutionize health screenings for diseases like anthrax, cancer and antibiotic resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Even more incredible than the device itself, is that it is based on the world's tiniest rotary motor: a biological engine measured on the order of molecules.

A mathematical model of venous neointimal hyperplasia formation
Background: In hemodialysis patients, the most common cause of vascular access failure is neointimal hyperplasia of vascular smooth muscle cells at the venous anastomosis of arteriovenous fistulas and grafts. The release of growth factors due to surgical injury, oxidative stress and turbulent flow has been suggested as a possible mechanism for neointimal hyperplasia. Results: In this work, we construct a mathematical model which analyzes the role that growth factors might play in the stenosis at the venous anastomosis. The model consists of a system of partial differential equations describing the influence of oxidative stress and turbulent flow on growth factors, the interaction among growth factors, smooth muscle cells, and extracellular matrix, and the subsequent effect on the stenosis at the venous anastomosis, which, in turn, affects the level of oxidative stress and degree of turbulent flow. Computer simulations suggest that our model can be used to predict access stenosis as a function of the initial concentration of the growth factors inside the intimal-luminal space. Conclusion: The proposed model describes the formation of venous neointimal hyperplasia, based on pathogenic mechanisms. The results suggest that interventions aimed at specific growth factors may be successful in prolonging the life of the vascular access, while reducing the costs of vascular access maintenance. The model may also provide indication of when invasive access surveillance to repair stenosis should be undertaken.

Liquid Crystal Alignment on Self-Organized Microwrinkles
Authors: Takuya Ohzono, Hirosato Monobe, and Yo Shimizu
The alignments of nematic liquid crystalline molecules on self-organized microwrinkles are demonstrated and shown to be directly related to the orientation of the microwrinkles. The microwrinkle-based twisted-nematic liquid crystal cell shows a common electro-optical response.©2008 The Japan Society of Applied Physics

Birds Commit Suicide
It is believed that in a small town in North Eastern part of India (Jatinga) birds commit suicide in a particular 1.5 km long and around 200 meters wide strip of field area. These birds are not suicidal since their behavior may be attributed to heavy rains and floods and submergence of their natural habitat in the surrounding areas. Also the local villagers light torches which attract the birds migrating at night. They then clobber them to death with bamboo poles and eat them!

How The Brain Reacts To Breach Of Trust
Scientists at the University of Zurich have discovered the neurophysiological basis of human trust and the reaction to it being breached. They have been able to prove that oxytocin promotes a sentiment of trust, even after a betrayal. The research team led by neuroscientist Ernst Fehr has therefore succeeded in taking a further step towards understanding trust.The ability of human beings to live in societies is based on trust.

Indiana Jones Back in Action in The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull [News]

Fans of the Indiana Jones trilogy have long awaited the fourth installment in the series about the part-time professor and full-time adventurer. In Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, which premiered this week, the swashbuckling archaeologist journeys to southern Mexico to track down a mysterious artifact of the vanished Mayan Empire. Scientists have attributed the decline of this mighty civilization to solar cycles and drought, though the demise of this society that existed for thousands of years perplexes archeologists to this day.

Check out some of Scientific American's coverage of how scientists are digging up the past, from the bizarre remnants of a lost Caribbean civilization to a real-life Indiana Jones who hunts for dinosaurs. Learn about the techniques of archaeology, like using sound to see underground, and how ancient shell beads may reveal when human beings decorated themselves for the first time.

Fecal Microorganisms Inhabit Sandy Beaches Of Florida
A study of Florida beaches has shown that wet sand and dry sand above the intertidal zone have significantly more fecal bacteria than near-shore seawater. Scientists researched whether indicator bacteria survive longer in sand relative to open water and found that all feces-derived bacteria were capable of enhanced growth and survival in sand, while in seawater the bacterial populations steadily decreased over time.

Sticky Business -- Researchers Devise New Way Of Mapping The Viscosity Of Cells
A fluorescent dye can be used to map how viscous, or 'gloopy', different parts of a cell are, according to new research published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. Changes in viscosity have been linked to disease and malfunction in human cells. For example, changes in the viscosity of the membranes of red blood cells have been observed in diabetes patients. Knowing more about these changes could lead to a greater understanding of how some diseases affect the human body.
