Hemostatic Materials: Anti-hemorrhagic Dressings for Wounds
A hemostatic material for field dressings in emergency wound treatment is made by layer-by-layer deposition of thrombin and tannic acid.
Opening a new window: improving biological spectroscopy
Label-free imaging of atherosclerotic plaques is achieved by an optical window between 1600-1850 nm for bond-selective deep tissue imaging.
Remote controlled nanoparticles deliver the goods
Iron oxide nanoparticles can be used to provide a local source of heating in a thermoresponsive sol–gel copolymer solution.
Advanced Functional Polymers for Medicine – Free Access
The complex requirements of modern medicine demand a variety of multifunctional materials. Polymers provide a versatile toolbox for such materials. Hydrolytically degradable polymers show temporal changes of mechanical properties during degradation and controlled drug...
Novel Gold-Nanoparticle-Based Assay for Understanding Alzheimer’s Disease
A novel AuNP-based assay highly sensitive to acetylcholinesterase (AChE) may detect a risk or a preclinical stage of Alzheimer’s disease.
Trojan Horse Causes Nanoparticle Allergy
Workers with existing allergic conditions have worse reactions when exposed to nanoparticles, caused by a Trojan horse known as an exosome.
Cooking Cancer with Lasers and Gold
A nanostructure of silicon and gold is 4 times as effective at killing cancer cells in cell culture experiments as gold nanoshells alone.
Defying Expectation – Cellular Uptake of Nanoparticles
Confocal microscopy and flow cytometry results suggest that nanoparticle uptake defies the expected size limits.
