Blog for Tuesday of first week of Nanotechnology course:
I realized that nanoparticles could do some very interesting things. They can reach into the human body and attack foreign cells for help when the human body is not able to do such things. They also have some artistic abilities, which involve the screens where the particles can reside themselves in water, involving the dihydrogen monoxide necessary for such approaches and also the interesting necessities involved. However, I will elaborate on this discussion tomorrow. It is not necessary at such times as this. Anyhow, the nanoparticles can act as T-cells and attack cancerous cells, releasing toxins to activate apoptosis when the cells are not in agreement with the pH of the surroundings. Phenyl red is involved to hold the nanoparticles which activate certain processes within the cells. The nanoparticles can also malfunction, however, and in the human body, what could happen if such a thing proliferated outside of the proliferating pool? It is similar to the differentiating PTHrP signaling required to inhibit precocious chondrocyte hypertrophy by keeping the proliferating chondrocytes in the proliferating pool, because the osteoclasts are growing too slowly sometimes, causing the error of the calcium permeable ion channel allowing too many calcium ions to proliferate.
They are necessarily creating an attack: hurting each cell that is targeted
They are used in the immune system to attack certain species of proliferating dangerous bacteria and viruses with antibodies, and the nanoparticles enable this ability
