NanoTech Application for Kidney & Cancer Detection!!

I found this article today.

Which, I considered is a break through!!

Nano Tech Kidney

Where dialysis falls short, nanotechnology promises to pick up the flag with a new approach to kidney disease treatment. Biophiltre, a California medical-device company, is developing a biomedical filter to mimic the function of the human kidney that would be less invasive.


NanoWireCancerDetectors

Harvard researchers used arrays of silicon nanowires to detect molecular markers of cancer with remarkable accuracy and speed. In minutes, a drop of blood could be scanned for an increasing number of known cancer markers through a novel electrical manipulation of the nanowires.
