Nanoscience and nanotechnology in the EC research programs

- In February 2008, the European Commission released a recommendation on a code of conduct for responsible nanosciences and nanotechnologies research. It is based on seven principles : meaning (activities should be broadly comprehensible); sustainability; precaution; inclusiveness (with regard to stakeholders); excellence; innovation; and accountability (with regard to social and other impacts).*
- The 7th Framework [...]

Nanoparticles in clinical trial trends : comments & focus on Abraxane

There are currently 70 clinical trials mentionning “nanoparticles” registered in the Clinicaltrials.gov database.  As shown in the dedicated Nanocolors trend chart dashboard, these are mostly Phase I and Phase II trials either recruiting patients or active and not recruiting. The number of new trials per year increased every year between 2004 and 2008 – and it is likely [...]
