According to Webda, A scientific meeting on nanotechnology was held at Emam Ali Hall by MUMS Department of Biotechnology, lectured by the founder of Nanotechnology in Iran, Professor Hashem Rafii-Tabar. “Electromagnetic radiation is one of the inherent properties of living cells, but it’s very weak in intensity. Any changes in the shape and behavior of living cells are accompanied by changes in their electromagnetic radiation. Studying this radiation can thus form the basis for diagnosing abnormalities in cells of living organisms, including humans, and it is mostly used for detecting cancer cells,” said Professor Rafii-Tabar at the meeting. He added, “New research has shown that the addition of nanoparticles (e.g. gold nanoparticles) will increase the intensity of electromagnetic radiation and enable detection of cancer cells at an early stage.” “Advanced nanoscience and nanotechnology has also provided possibilities for accurate and comprehensive investigation of neurophysiology and nerve-related diseases. And we can make nano-scale structures capable of passing through blood-brain barrier. These structures can be pharmaceuticals or structures which target specific parts associated with neural signaling,” he said. Biophoton emission from cancer cells and the role of nanoparticles in intensifying these emissions were other topics discussed at the meeting. |
