    Using nanopores to detect epigenetic changes faster

    Changes known as epigenetic modifications play an important role in cancer development, among other things. Being able to analyze them quickly and reliably could, for example, contribute significantly to the further development of personalized therapy.

    nanodiagBW: using nanopores to create completely new diagnostic possibilities

    Modern medicine has a wide range of molecular diagnostics at hand. In the next decade, this will increasingly be supplemented by prognostic methods. The BMBF Cluster of the Future finalist, nanodiag BW, is developing prognostic methods to identify epigenetic factors for diseases through a new type of bioanalytics – single molecule analysis in nanopores – which would make it possible to take personalised prevention approaches.

    Nanorobots as future minimally invasive tools for the eye

    It is difficult to place drugs in the right place in the eye. When using droplets, only a small fraction of the drug reaches its target. Injecting drugs into the eye is also more a matter of luck than judgement. Basic researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems Stuttgart have developed a nanorobot that can be loaded with active ingredients for treating eye diseases and directed through the solid tissue of the vitreous body.

    DNA origami for decoding the language of biological cells

    Cells have their own language that they use to communicate with each other. They need this language to be able to form intact tissues and fulfil their specific functions in the body. If these signalling pathways are disrupted, metabolic processes will suffer and result in diseases. We know many “words” of the cellular language, i.e. signalling molecules that bind to specific surface receptors and thereby trigger chemical reactions inside the…

    Nanoparticles make eye drops more effective

    Drops are a common way of applying drugs for treating a wide of range of eye diseases. Most of us have used eye drops at least once in our lives, but we are not usually aware that even if the drops are applied correctly, only one percent of the drug reaches the eye. The rest is flushed out by eyelid movement or with tear fluid. So very high drug concentrations are needed, and the downside of this is that it can cause substantial adverse effects.…

    Hans-Peter Deigner: "Optimisation of lateral flow assays using nanoparticles."

    Nanoparticles are already used in many materials and areas, ranging from textiles to scientific and medical research. The global scientific community is keenly interested in nanoparticle research and Prof. Dr. Hans-Peter Deigner, professor in the Faculty of Medical and Life Sciences at Furtwangen University of Applied Sciences (HFU) is no exception. Deigner works on optimising nanoparticles for application in lateral flow assays. As well as…

    Synthetic nanoparticles as mini-pills for the treatment of tumours

    Little is yet known about the risks and dangers of the tiny particles that play a key role in the field of nanotechnology because many applications are still under development. The technology is therefore not without controversy. However, there are promising possibilities for equipping artificial particles with new functions, such as optimizing the targeted delivery of drugs in the human body or developing a non-invasive type of cancer therapy.…

    Plant viruses can be engineered in many ways for use by and in humans. Amongst other things, they can be used as scaffold structures for bioactive molecules, which might help improve implants. Prof. Dr. Christina Wege from the University of Stuttgart is studying these and many more options for the use of harmless viruses for human application.

    Nanotechnology in Ulm goes into application: a sensor for the life sciences

    Life scientists use rather bulky measurement devices to study sensitive cells. Huge pipettes or cannulas are pushed into ultra-tiny structures such as cell membranes or cytoplasm in order to measure complex processes or reactions inside cells. Rough treatment of this kind can damage cells and affect measurement results in ways that are difficult to quantify. The materials scientist Steffen Strehle from Ulm University has plans to begin…

    Ionera – measuring tiny ion currents

    The identification and characterisation of individual DNA and protein molecules is gaining in importance. A method developed by Dr. Gerhard Baaken and Prof. Dr. Jan C. Behrends at the University of Freiburg has the potential to be used by scientists to analyse a large number of single molecules automatically using nanopores. The MECA (microelectrode cavity array) technology can be adapted to a broad range of different applications.

    Nano-design inspired by nature enables cells to interact with implants

    Eye implants that communicate with living cells have the potential to spare many patients from having to undergo further eye surgery or laser treatment. However, Christian Lingenfelder, managing director of Dornstadt-based Alamedics, believes that it will take at least five to seven years for the idea to become reality and a medical product placed on the market. Alamedics, which was founded in 2012, has already made an important initial step in…

    The needs of cancer patients are clear chemotherapies that are as gentle as possible associated with minimal adverse effects and have a rapid effect. This is often difficult to achieve because the drug that stops tumour growth needs to remain in the body for a certain amount of time during which time it damages cancerous as well as healthy structures.

    Alexander Wittemann: polymeric nanostructures as carriers of biomolecules

    Vesicles form naturally in cells and can do many things including transporting pharmaceutically active substances to tumours. However natural vesicles only have a short lifespan which can lead to the premature release of the drug enclosed within them. Alexander Wittemann a chemist at Konstanz University has successfully developed artificial biocompatible polymer vesicles with a much longer lifespan.

    Risk assessment of nano-materials

    Nano-particles (Greek: nanos = dwarf) are now being used to create fascinating products with totally new functionalities. These include textiles from which dirt simply runs off or which have an anti-bacterial effect. But as is the case with every new technology, this one must also be safe to use. It is therefore of interest to both manufacturers and users of such high-tech products that nano-particles are harmless for both human beings and the…

    Implants of the future: bioactive, corrosion-resistant and antibacterial

    People’s life expectancy is increasing due to constantly improving medical treatment. One result of this is the greater wear of joints, which then need to be replaced with implants. Increased life expectancy means that the implants remain in the body for much longer and therefore need to be longer lasting. The revision rate of implant materials used in clinical practice is still as much as 10 per cent, particularly in the case of hip and knee…
