Scientists have successfully prompted parts of the body to generate new blood vessels with newly developed “nanoneedles”. Continue reading… “Nanoneedles paving the way for new regenerative medicine”
Certain Nanotubes Can Cause Same Health Risks as Asbestos
Beware of the hairy nanotubes, even though you can’t see them and have no idea where they might be
Certain types of carbon nanotubes could cause the same health problems as asbestos, according to the results of two recent studies. In one, published yesterday, tests in mice showed that long and straight multiwalled carbon nanotubes cause the same kind of inflammation and lesions in the type of tissues that surround the lungs that is caused by asbestos. The other study, also done in mice, showed that similar carbon nanotubes eventually led to cancerous tumors.
