Nanotechnologie: Lichtblick am Ende des Drogen-Tunnels
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. 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.
