Protein reduces toxicity of drug-delivery material made of graphene oxide

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, chemistry, nanotechnology

A new publication has discovered ways to reduce the toxicity of graphene oxide (GO), an ultra-thin sheet of nanomaterial derived from graphite, laying the groundwork to use it as a drug delivery system.

Professor Khuloud Al-Jamal, who led the study, said: “Researchers have been incredibly excited in the potential medical applications of graphene since experiments into the nanomaterial were recognised with the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010. However, concerns around toxicity have remained a consistent obstacle.”

Graphene oxide (GO) is an ultra-thin sheet derived from graphite. It is similar to pencil lead but includes attached oxygen atoms, making it compatible with water. Its unique physical and chemical properties mean it has a high capacity for carrying antibiotics and anticancer drugs, among others, as well as targeting specific cells, making it a potentially effective drug delivery system.

Wobbly molecules get a closer look

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, nanotechnology, robotics/AI

While new technologies, including those powered by artificial intelligence, provide innovative solutions to a steadily growing range of problems, these tools are only as good as the data they’re trained on. In the world of molecular biology, getting high-quality data from tiny biological systems while they’re in motion – a critical step for building next-gen tools – is something like trying to take a clear picture of a spinning propeller. Just as you need precise equipment and conditions to photograph the propeller clearly, researchers need advanced techniques and careful calculations to measure the movement of molecules accurately.

Matthew Lew, associate professor in the Preston M. Green Department of Electrical & Systems Engineering in the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis, builds new imaging technologies to unravel the intricate workings of life at the nanoscale. Though they’re incredibly tiny – 1,000 to 100,000 times smaller than a human hair – nanoscale biomolecules like proteins and DNA strands are fundamental to virtually all biological processes.

Scientists rely on ever-advancing microscopy methods to gain insights into these systems work. Traditionally, these methods have relied on simplifying assumptions that overlook some complexities of molecular behavior, which can be wobbly and asymmetric. A new theoretical framework developed by Lew, however, is set to shake up how scientists measure and interpret wobbly molecular motion.

Sheba Study: AI Can Spot Patients At Risk Of Pulmonary Embolism

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, information science, robotics/AI

A newly published study by Sheba Medical Center, Israel’s largest and internationally ranked hospital, shows that AI analysis of medical records as patients are admitted to the ER can accurately identify those at high risk of pulmonary embolism (PE).

A pulmonary embolism is a sudden blockage in an artery in the lung caused by a blood clot, most commonly due to a dislodged clot in the leg. They are normally diagnosed during a CT scan.

Using machine learning, the researchers trained an algorithm to detect a pulmonary embolism before a patient was hospitalized, based on existing medical records.
