Describing the work of the Calgary group, Professor Amrein says «While we do some work for the energy sector (to predict
behaviour of nanoparticles injected into oil reservoirs) our main focus is medicine.
Its presence influences
the behaviour of nanoparticles in the body by altering their chemical properties, destination, and their interactions with other cells.
The researchers were able to «replicate» the varying real - body conditions in a lab, and test
the behaviour of nanoparticles in different blood and lymph flows.

«Cell -
nanoparticle interactions can produce significant change in cellular
behaviour that we can observe using this technique,» explains Irtisha Singh, who is one
of the senior authors
of this study.
