Laser Spectroscopy To Diagnose Hip Problems
A team of scientist from the Center for Optical and Electromagnetic Research in China developed a new laser spectroscopy method measuring gas to detect necrosis in the hip joints.
Natural Fatty Acids as Gating Materials for Near-Infrared-Triggered Drug Release
Natural fatty acid eutetic mixtures offer an inexpensive, chemically stable and biocompatible gating material alternative for NIR-triggered drug release nanoparticles for cancer therapy.
Using Laserbeams To Safely Operate on Teeth
A team of German scientist developed a new laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy approach that can differentiate between hard and soft tissue in the mouth region and could help improve surgical dental treatment.
Anisogel: A New Hybrid Hydrogel for Tissue Regenerative Therapy
A new type of hybrid hydrogel for tissue regenerative therapy—Anisogel—is developed by Abdolrahman Omidinia-Anarkoli, Laura De Laporte, and co-workers from the Leibniz Institute for Interactive Materials in Aachen, Germany. This low-invasive hydrogel is promising for healing body tissues that consist of an aligned architecture, such as the heart, kidney, muscles, and nerves.
On-Chip Magnetic Nanoparticles for Phosphoproteomics
Indium oxide-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized and used as solid phase extraction adsorbent on a chip, held with the help of an external magnetic field.
Diagnosing Bladder Cancer Made Inexpensive, Sensitive and Non-invasive
Ammps, a new cost-effective, sensitive and non-invasive clinical assay, for the detection and monitoring of bladder cancer.
Rainbow Cell Barcoding: Fluorescent Polymer Nanoparticles
A method that allows the long-term labeling of different cell populations in tens of different colors using fluorescent nanoparticles.
Manipulating Proteins inside Living Cells
Magnetogenetics is a promising approach manipulating cellular functions in tissues and organisms with high spatial and temporal resolution.
