| TAU develops superior method for coating orthopaedic and dental implants Tel Aviv University researcher Prof. Noam Eliaz of the TAU School of Mechanical Engineering has developed an electrochemical process for coating metal implants which vastly improves their functionality, longevity and integration into the body. The new process could vastly improve the lives of people who have undergone complicated total joint replacement surgeries so they can better walk, run and ultimately avoid rejection of the implant by their bodies. |

Drug Delivery Using Nanotechnologies:
Technologies, Markets and Competitive Environment
|
Drug delivery commands a sizeable proportion of the overall pharmaceutical market, approximately 15% or some US $109 billion in 2008. It is also expected to grow at a faster rate than the overall pharmaceutical market over the next 4 years.
The reason? Extending patent life for existing drugs and offering new alternatives for delivery, in particular the peroral route. In all of this nanotechnology is a major enabler.
