Designing nanomedicine to combat diseases is a hot area of scientific research, primarily for treating cancer, but very little is known in the context of atherosclerotic disease. Scientists have engineered a microchip coated with blood vessel cells to learn more about the conditions under which nanoparticles accumulate in the plaque-filled arteries of patients with atherosclerosis, the underlying cause of myocardial infarction and stroke.

Aktuelle Forschungsergebnisse machen deutlich: Nanomaterialien sind nicht allein aufgrund ihrer Kleinheit generell gef�hrlicher als gr�ber strukturierte Materialien. Dies zeigten Ergebnisse der Risikoforschung des Bundesministeriums f�r Bildung und Forschung, die im Technologiegespr�ch 'Sicherer Umgang mit Nanomaterialien' in Berlin vorgestellt wurden.
