Are MoS2 Nanosheets Safe for Use in Humans?
Biodegradability and biocompatibility studies show minimal cytotoxicity, particularly for covalently functionalized MoS2 nanosheets.
Magnetic Nanoparticle-Mediated Gene Delivery to Neural Stem Cells
The first description on the use of oscillating magnetic fields for magnetic nanoparticle-mediated (MNP) gene transfer to neural stem cells NSCs.
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.
Insights into Nuclear Dynamics using Live-Cell Imaging Approaches
CRISPR is a newly developed, but rapidly advancing, genome editing technique that has advanced the nuclear imaging field by providing a means to fluorescently label a dead Cas9 protein fused with green fluorescent protein (dCas9-GFP), allowing scientists to microscopically track where certain proteins bind to the DNA.
Can Cinnamon be the Silver Bullet for Cancer?
The anti-cancer properties of cinnamon extract have been recently published in Molecular Carcinogenesis.
Reengineering Red Blood Cells for Cellular Therapeutics and Diagnostics
Red blood cells can be opened and resealed without affecting their functional characteristics, allowing scientists new opportunities in therapeutics and diagnostics.
Thermal-Transport Biosensor Distinguishes Different Types of Cancer
A novel thermal-transport technique based on the transient response of laser-heated GaN nanomembranes in contact with living cells is used to differentiate between different types of cancer.
