Nanoparaticles to treat cancer and Parkinson's???

[Guest guest]

Is there a new treatment coming down the pipes for drug addiction also?

The new approach developed by the UB researchers also may be applicable to

treating Parkinson's disease, cancer and a range of other neurologic and

psychiatric disorders, which require certain drugs to be delivered to the brain.

A precise, new nanotechnology treatment for drug addiction may be on the horizon

as the result of research conducted at the University at Buffalo.

Scientists in UB's Institute for Lasers, Photonics and Biophotonics and UB's

Department of Medicine have developed a stable nanoparticle that delivers short

RNA molecules in the brain to " silence " or turn off a gene that plays a critical

role in many kinds of drug addiction. Rest of article below:
