Hi everyone,
can anyone point me to some resources about research into Nanotech
applications in Neuroscience?!! I think this will have great implications,
especially in the field of nanomedicine and Brain-Machine-Interface (BMI)!
thanx in advance...

I've recently read on the news that nanoparticles may increase the
life span of the brain cells.

MBI is a harder problem since our immune system doesn't accepts
foreign materials. Check http://www.neuroengineering.com |

You may want to take a look at the latest Nanoparticles research . It has been
found a very interesting effect of the nanoparticles when in contact with rat's
neurons. Nanoparticles seems to revujenate or revitalize the brain cells.

It would be nice to study if nanoparticles have the same revujenation effect on
nephrons or their effect on the spermatogenesis process.

Can you post the reference?

I haven't been following some of the recent materials science hacks that
have
been popularly lately, or the details of the controversy over whether or
not
"nanoparticles" are toxic. But the statement you made seems odd:
wouldn't a
virus count as a "nanoparticle"? And if it's the wrong kind of virus, it
would
certainly not revitalize the brain cell.
Has the word "nanoparticle" come to have a more specific meaning than "a
piece of something of nanometer-ish dimensions"? Is there now an
assumption
that "nanoparticles" are made of a particular material? If so, I didn't
realize how far behind things I've fallen. |

The tittle of the study is Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles Extend Cell Longevity And
Act As Free Radical Scavengers.

The concept of "viral particles" is not related to the topic in discussion.
The experiment we are talking deals with the use of engineered nanoparticles
of cerium oxide.
The average lifespan of brain's cell culture ranges from 28 to 32 days in
vitro. In nanoparticle treated cultures, lifespan was increased to a minimum
of 68 days, with some of the cultures reaching 123 days. The researchers
hypothesize that the unique valence structure of cerium oxide, in the
nanoparticle form, promotes cell longevity and protects against free
radical-mediated injury by acting as a regenerative free radical scavenger.
