UCF Research Finds Nanoparticles Prevent Cell Damage
June 29, 2009 - University of Central Florida Professor Sudipta Seal and his team have engineered a nanoparticle that appears to prevent cell damage.

Seal and his team engineered nanoparticles of cerium oxide (called nanoceria), a material long used in ceramics and fuel cells. In its nanocrystalline form it is non-toxic and appears to work as an antioxidant working to protect cells. Seal’s work is recognized by the National Science Foundation this month, which featured him in a Behind the Scenes article at LiveScience.com.

Nanoceria show promise and may protect healthy cells from the damaging effects of radiation given as cancer treatments, and it shows promise fortreating arthritis, wound healing, spinal cord injuries and neurodegenerative diseases. In collaboration with researchers at Imperial College London, Seal and his colleagues are also incorporating...       More >>
