Studies show in mice show that targeting the metabolic pathways could inhibit the growth of melanoma and combining this ...

The melanin in the nanoparticles caused the temperature of the tumor tissue to rise from 37 °C to up to 56 °C. Control tumors with no melanin only reached a maximum temperature of 39 °C.

Melanin-Covered Nanoparticles for Protection of Bone Marrow During Radiation Therapy of Cancer. International Journal of Radiation OncologyBiologyPhysics , 2010; DOI: 10.1016/j.ijrobp.2010.02.020 ...

Researchers at the Technical University of Munich and Helmholtz Zentrum München have found that melanin-loaded nanoparticles can help diagnose tumors and slow their growth. SUBSCRIBE.

A number of current technical difficulties can be overcome by incorporating of strongly infrared-absorbing melanin nanoparticles (mNP), which are biologically benign and strongly optically absorbing ...

Researchers used two synthetic melanin particles (SMPs), which are nanoparticles with low and high surface areas (SMP Lo and SMP Hi, respectively).The supposition is that SMP Hi would be a better ...

In the study, the team used a synthetic melanin that was engineered with nanoparticles. They modified the melanin structure so that it has a higher free radical-scavenging capacity.

Melanin-like nanoparticles inhibit cystogenesis in kidney disease model. Dec. 24, 2024. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a severe genetic disorder primarily caused by mutations ...

What is melanin? Melanin is a naturally occurring substance or pigment produced by special skin cells called melanocytes that are found in one's skin, hair follicles, eyes and other parts of the body.

Melanin Nanoparticle - Infrared Light Cancer Therapy. FY25 SI-GECS Type 2. Abstract. Photothermal therapy (PTT) uses light to target cancer by local heating of a light-absorbing medium proximate to or ...
