Promising New Nanotechnology for Spinal Cord Injury
Northwestern University April 2nd, 2008 A spinal cord injury often leads to permanent paralysis and loss of sensation below the site of the injury because the damaged nerve fibers can't regenerate. The nerve fibers or axons have the capacity to grow again, but don't because they're blocked by scar tissue that develops around the injury.

NI scientists in cataract advance
news.bbc.co.uk April 2nd, 2008 The world's leading cause of blindness could soon be reversed, according to Northern Ireland scientists who have developed a new type of nanotechnology. Researchers at the University of Ulster have said the technique will allow scientists to put nano-particles within the eye without breaking the lens. The research was done in conjunction with a team from the University of Texas. About 40% of people over the age of 75 develop a cataract in one or both eyes.
