Nanoparticles (Animation)
- Nanoparticulate technology can prove to be very useful in cancer therapy allowing for effective and targeted drug delivery by overcoming the many biological, biophysical and biomedical barriers that the body stages against a standard intervention such as the administration of drugs or contrast agents.

Nanoscale Cantilevers (Animation)
- Nanoscale cantilevers – microscopic, flexible beams resembling a row of diving boards – are built using semiconductor lithographic techniques. These can be coated with molecules capable of binding specific substrates—DNA complementary to a specific gene sequence, for example. Such micron-sized devices, comprising many nanometer-sized cantilevers, can detect single molecules of DNA or protein. (National Cancer Institute)

Nanoshells (Animation)
- Nanoshells have a core of silica and a metallic outer layer. Because of their size, they will preferentially concentrate in cancer lesion sites. This physical selectivity occurs through a phenomenon called enhanced permeation retention (EPR). (National Cancer Institute)

Nanowires (Animation)
- Nanowires are man-made constructs made with carbon, silicon and other materials that have the capability to monitor the complexity of biological phenomenon and relay the information, as it is monitored, to the medical care provider. (National Cancer Institute)

Rodbell: Discovering How Cells Respond to Signals (Exhibit)
- An online exhibit about the work of Martin Rodbell and his colleagues in discovering a mechanism that transformed our understanding of how cells respond to signals. In a series of pioneering experiments conducted here at the NIH, Rodbell studied hormones--substances which have specific effects on cells' activity. He could not have predicted the broad impact his findings would have. (DeWitt Stetten, Jr., Museum of Medical Research) (Office of NIH History)
