The work was initiated by a seed grant from the Medical School, which founded the Center for Craniofacial Tissue Engineering in 1999 with the aim of creating a biologic tooth, Donoff said.
Other researchers are building nanoinventions so small that they can slip inside diseased cells and halt their development. Dr. James Baker, head of the University of Michigan's Center for Biologic Nanotechnology, is developing nanoscale molecules called dendrimers to target cancer cells. He says that "nanotechnology gives us a totally...
