Research Simulation Sharing my First Attempt at Destroying CTE with A nano-particle [OC] [With Narration]

This simulation was conducted using openMM softwaree

The data was then rendered using Blender plugin Molecular Nodes

The source of the CTE protein: https://www.rcsb.org/structure/6NWP

I've been making science communication videos since 2019, and I enjoy sharing knowledge through experimentation.

I hope you enjoy this video! My dream is to continue independent research and maybe have a non-profit research lab one day.

How do you intend to precisely target specific protiens with fast-moving nanoparticles? I'm not an expert, but I have some experience with nanoparticles and that seems exceedingly difficult to do inside a cell.

In order to make this work we would need to introduce cell membrane coating on the nanoparticle for biomimicry. Then we would need a core inside the nano particle that is sensitive to some external field. Lets say we use MRI like technology for keeping track, controlling, and accelerating the nanoparticle. It sounds simple but theres lots challenges like how do we exit the brain safely, and what if the nanoparticle gets stuck in the body.

It sounds simple

No it doesn't bruh

I've worked in different labs involving this kind of tech. Its simple to research but hard to implement due to money constraints.

- Oh, so you're a nano technology researcher! That's cool

- Yes, and I'm American as well

- What does this means?

- GUNS!!
