Gold Nanoparticles Could Treat Heart Disease Says Scientists

A process which has been described as significantly less complicated than using other regeneration ways involves the usage of gold nanoparticles. Scientists even claim that these gold nanoparticles could be used to treat heart diseases.

Gold Nanoparticles Could Treat Heart Disease Says Scientists

New research headed by associate professors Dr. Emilio Alarcon and Dr. Erik Suuronen of the University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine reveals that tailored gold nanoparticles could be used to treat heart problems.

The scientists investigated a treatment that included sprinkling gold nanoparticles altered with peptides on the hearts of lab mice, as per a media release on the university’s website.

The researchers noted that their treatment improved both cardiac activity and heart electrical conductivity, and also that the gold particles they utilized had no evidence of “off-target organ infiltration.”

“That’s the beauty of this approach. You spray, then you wait a couple of weeks, and the animals are doing just fine compared to the controls,” said Dr. Alarcon.

He further said that using this strategy is significantly less complicated than using other regeneration ways to help treat an infarcted heart.

According to the press release, the group is currently working to modify this innovation to “minimally invasive procedures that will expedite testing in large animal models, such as rabbits and pigs.”

Scientists from the University of Talca in Chile were also engaged in the research, which was partially supported by the Canadian government’s New Frontiers in Research Fund.

  1. Do a free pubmed/pmc search on nanoparticles. Graphene is the direction everyones going in now, and is also whats in every single covid vaccine, including the nasal spray. They also said it was “safe” alongside gold. But read a few pieces of free publicly available scientific literature that was wrote prior to 2019, and youll learn thats a lie.

  2. Thank u Davis – – i’m bio-med challenged in research abilities, BUT the 1 thing remaining in my mind is the understanding that NANO PARTICLES of metals & other stuff once inside can not be removed ! They are just too small to be attacked by any of our immune defense systems – – on the other hand , maybe binding to a specific PEPTIDE found only in the Heart may just hold this nano gold forever INSIDE the heart. Great promises made by bio-med need to be proven – but the healing power of Organic & concentrated Natural Super Foods is proven Science. …… …. shalom, al jenkins
