New developments for:   Nanoparticle Antibacterials, Radical Prostatectomy, Preventing Abdominal Aortic, Aneurysms, Glioblastoma, Nanorobots All this on  Medicine of the Future.   Bacteria are getting smarter and more resistant to all known antibiotics, and many of them resist treatment by hiding in cells where antibiotics cannot penetrate.  Swiss bioengineers have developed bacterial-toxic cerium oxide nanoparticles that do get inside cells and their components.  They successfully tested these nanoparticles against MRSA, the highly resistant version of staph aureus.    Physiologists and urologists at New York’s Albert Einstein College of Medicine discovered a small interfering RNA molecule that promotes nerve regeneration when packaged in gel nanoparticles and sprayed on tissues.  The researchers successfully tested this siRNA-gel compound in a mouse model with damaged erectile nerves by applying the agent im
