Biomimetic Hydrogels for Blood Vessel Development
Macrophages may be a novel cell target for regenerative medicine efforts where vasculature is often vital to success.
Tissue Engineering with Nanoreinforced Hydrogels for the Uprise of Cyboorganics, Bionics and Biorobotics
Incorporation of nanomaterials within hydrogels has great potential, as a simple approach, to generate multifunctional scaffolds with unprecedent biological, mechanical, and electrical properties.
High Reactivity PCO Pseudocapacitors
Co3O4 is emerging as favorable candidate for application in pseudocapacitors due to its low cost, super-high theoretical capacitance (3560 F/g), and great reversibility. Now, even more with substantially enhanced specific capacitance and cycling stability achieved by surface modification.
Blood-Detox with Red Blood Cell Microreactors
Red blood cell (RBC)-based delivery systems are emerging as natural biocarriers in a wide range of clinical applications, including blood detoxification.
Targeted Chemotherapy with Nicotinylated Liposomes
Liposomal formulations of two novel nicotinylated amphiphiles for targeting potent chemotherapeutics to mouse glioblastoma.

CRISPR Gene Editing On-a-Chip
Researchers from the Qin lab have developed a microfluidic cell deformation delivery method that uses physical constriction to deform and shear cells for delivery.
Drawing with DNA Materials
A research team from KAIST, Korea has successfully fabricated nanometer scaled DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) structures.
High-efficiency THz nano-detectors
An international collaboration has built THz photon sensors that operate over the 0.3-0.65 THz range, at low temperatures, with excellent signal to noise ratio values.
