New Multidetector Solution Could Lead To Safer Alternatives To Faulty Silicone Breast Implants, Judit D. Puskas, Geof Wyatt
New Multidetector Solution Could Lead To Safer Alternatives To Faulty Silicone Breast Implants, Judit D. Puskas, Geof Wyatt
Chemical, Biomolecular, and Corrosion Engineering Faculty Research
The article discusses the effort of the University of Akron's Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering to pursue research which aims to reduce or eliminate capsular contracture associated with breast implants. It notes that the new multidetector nanotechnology developed by researchers can be better alternative to silicone gel-filled breast implants. It mentions that the new technology can also help in early diagnosis and imaging of breast cancer.

Every living organism on earth owes its viability to its different sizes of nanostructures and the interaction of these structures at the nano size. Nanotechnology gives us an opportunity to understand nanoscale processes in living organisms and interfere with and manipulate them. Today, biocompatible nanosized structures are designed by applying developments in nanotechnology to biomedicine; thus, therapeutic agents are available to reach diseased tissues and even cells. However, it is essential that nanomaterials that would be used for therapeutic aims be targetable to diseased areas and have low toxicity. In addition, these nanomaterials must have high biocirculation and pharmacokinetic properties. …
