Stealth Ninja Nanoparticle Increases Uptake Of Imaging Agents And Drugs
This article was originally published in Start Up
Executive Summary
Researchers have devised a tiny synthetic peptide that signals macrophages scavenging for foreign invaders in the body to ignore it and move on. The molecule can be attached to imaging agents, drugs, and biologics, increasing their uptake by shielding them from attack by the immune system.

Nanoparticle Technology To Treat Vascular Occlusions Using Much-Lower Drug Doses
New research shows that aggregates of nanoparticles will target an occluded blood vessel, responding to the higher shear force present as blood flows through the blockage. When coated with the anti-clotting drug tPA, the nanoparticles dissolve clots at one-hundredth the therapeutic dose of tPA, suggesting a much broader potential clinical use for that drug. This proof of concept also suggests that the nanoparticle technology may be applied to target any disease characterized by vessel constriction, including stroke and heart attack.
Can Nanotech Be a Game-Changer for In Vitro Diagnostics?
People have awakened to the opportunities in diagnostics. Molecular information offers the potential for increased test sensitivity, and reduced upfront sample prep using nanotechnology could provide the means for many gene- and protein-based diagnostic tests to transition out of the central lab. Nanotech may also enable the use of newly discovered or newly usable biomarkers. Finally, unlike the traditional point-of-care model, a new wave of nanotech-based instruments could bring testing even closer to the patient.
Nanotechnology: A Balm for the Challenges of Drug Delivery
2007 was an awful year for drug delivery companies, and 2008 is shaping up to be no better. The share prices of many drug delivery companies are trading at or below their 10-year averages as investors realize that convenient delivery of large molecules that heretofore required painful injections isn't necessarily a compelling commercial opportunity. Still, intrepid venture capitalists are investing in some companies that are capitalizing on one key difference: these fledgling start-ups use nanotechnology to create therapies that are significantly different--especially in terms of safety and efficacy--from the first-generation drugs they hope to supplant.
