Nanoflowers: The new frontier in healing brain cells & treating disease
Metallic nanoflowers may be the next frontier in brain health, reducing oxidative stress, protecting mitochondria, and even extending lifespan in lab models. A new study shows they hold “incredible potential” as neuroprotective agents.
Metallic nanoflowers may be the next frontier in brain health, reducing oxidative stress, protecting mitochondria, and even extending lifespan in lab models. “These nanoflowers look beautiful under a microscope, but what they do inside the cell is even more impressive,” said the study’s corresponding author, Dmitry Kurouski, associate professor in biochemistry and biophysics at Texas A&M’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. This, arguably, makes nanoflowers more useful than regular nanoparticles for functions like drug delivery and catalysis, or increasing the rate of a chemical reaction by adding a catalyst.
