Special glasses (high tech) help surgeons 'see' cancer​​​​​​​​ | Newsroom | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it

High-tech glasses developed at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis may help surgeons visualize cancer cells, whichglow blue when viewed through the eyewear.


The wearable technology, so new it’s yet unnamed, was used during surgery for the first time today at Alvin J. Siteman Cancer Centerat Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine.
Cancer cells are notoriously difficult to see, even under high-powered magnification. The glasses are designed to make it easier for surgeons to distinguish cancer cells from healthy cells, helping to ensure that no stray tumor cells are left behind during surgery.

Nanodiamonds to help target cancer cells

Nanodiamonds to help target cancer cells

 

Nanodiamond particles, or nanodiamonds (NDs), have emerged as a promising candidate for use in biomedical imaging and for different biomedical applications such as drug carrier platform. They show decreased cytotoxicity in comparison to other NPs, and can follow their fate by fluorescence imaging as a result of point defects in the diamond structure.
