Here’s some fantastic research we collaborated on. I’ll write a little bit more about it when I have time.

Our collaborators, Dr. Stupp and Dr. Erin Hsu just published a paper about their research using a nanomaterial to promote bone growth. We did some of the microCT imaging and helped them with analysis. Congratulations to them.

Es una gran esperanza para los que padecemos de cáncer de huesos

María Gómez, it’s not really related to bone cancer. It’s intended for people who have a broken bone from an injury or surgery.

This is wonderful news. I wonder if it can help in cases in scoliosis or bone infection.
June 21, 2017
Cherch Cherch, unlikely to help for scoliosis but it could help if surgery is needed to remove infected bone.

My first thought when seeing it was osteoporosis treatment?

Chad Haney have a question on peptide amphiphiles.{ I know what amphiphilic surfactants are } in the case of the peptide is the bonding on the heads or tails or both? just curious
June 21, 2017
Brian Stevens, bonding to what? Let me look for a drawing to help you out. I’m in the lab so it will take a while.
June 21, 2017
Chad Haney no hurries and the question you asked gave the answer to my question in a way in the surfactant oil bonds to one end water to other so thus the function of the peptide is not to facilitate bonding which really what was curious about. the peptide behavior.

Chad Haney am very new to medically related science but can tell you how many lectures Roger Penrose has given lol
June 21, 2017
Brian Stevens, there’s a flavor of the ampiphile that we link with gadolinium for imaging. That’s why I asked what you were getting at.
June 21, 2017
Chad Haney found the relevant info on G Scholar thanks much though will let you get back to it, what you are doing could be more important than most things I will ever do.
June 21, 2017
Brian Stevens, here’s the gadolinium version but it should answer your question.

Chad Haney Thank you for your time .
June 21, 2017
Chad Haney would like to discuss some more on this when we both have more time mostly about the thermal annealing at nanoscales. And will leave other for now am busy to TTYL
June 21, 2017
Brian Stevens, I don’t do the chemistry, just the imaging. So I probably can’t answer that.
June 21, 2017
Chad Haney ok am sure can find the info just thought from the sources mouth would be better lol.

I would have happy if it suits for cancer patients ( bone marrow).
