December - 201919Nanoshell utilizes multiple-component nanomaterials to develop new drug delivery systems, increase patient safety, and reduce healthcare costs severity of unexpected crisis during regular red blood cell exchange and plasmapheresis, leaving the patient's blood in much-improved condition. Nanoshell's technology can also be used to selectively target and extract cells from the blood that are associated with different diseases such as cancer, as well as toxins, and viruses by using various nanomaterials. This cellular collection system in development, coupled with clinical aphaeresis, can provide therapeutic benefits to cancer patients. The company's patent-pending technology can process large volumes of patient's blood and collect targeted metastasized cancer cells from the patient's blood in just 2-3 hours. This capability can enhance the effectiveness of chemo and radiation therapy and can be used to stop or slow down the spread of cancer cells to other parts of the body. "As opposed to the traditional single-component nanomaterials, Nanoshell utilizes self-assembling, multiple-component nanomaterials to develop new functional nanoparticles, increase patient safety, and reduce healthcare costs," says Dr. Agnes Ostafin, president of Nanoshell.The company's Intelligent NanoDelivery System also enhances the effectiveness and aesthetics of actives in cosmetics and personal care products. Its nanosized delivery vehicles can penetrate into selected depths of the skin or the hair cuticle to deliver beneficial substances that truly support its repair, regeneration, and protection. All of the firm's formulations are tested by third-party laboratories and by panels of test clients for effectiveness before production. As Nanoshell designs and manufactures its solutions from scratch, all of them can be unique, potentially patent-protectable, and the company also offers intellectual property rights to its clients.To further elaborate on Nanoshell's technological capabilities, Agnes recalls developing a personal care product for hyperpigmentation, a condition where excess production of melanin cause brown spots on the skin. To cure this, the company's team of experts successfully developed a multi-component nanoparticle that is size and surface-engineered to be able to penetrate only into a certain depth and stick to the targeted region of the skin to deliver the formulation's benefits. This formulation of Nanoshell, tailored for different types of skin, balances the skin tone evenly within a couple weeks.Nanoshell's one of a kind technology is also capable of extracting a wide range of biological weapons, chemical agents, and infectious diseases from the blood of exposed soldiers before any major organ damage occurs and also shortens their recovery time. Owing to its unique benefits, Nanoshell's nanobiotechnology-enabled system for continuous blood purification and cancer therapeutics was awarded the TechConnect Defense Innovation Award in 2018 and is one of The 10 Most Innovative Healthcare Nanotech Companies to Watch by Insightscare. To continue its legacy, the company is currently developing new innovative nanotechnology-based transformative solutions while also enhancing the effectiveness of the existing ones.
