Controlled delivery of anti-tumor drug with a new design incorporating a phase-change material in magnetic nanoparticles allowing chemo-photothermal combined tumor therapy with multimodal tumor imaging.
“Why Are We Interested in Monocytes?”
Various views on the same cell are discussed in a recent Special Issue on Monocytes and Marcophages.
Special Issue on Quantitative Phase Imaging for Label-Free Cytometry
A Special Issue that reports on the latest technical developments in QPI used to study the mechanisms of cancer and neurodegenerative disorders, to develop multispecific pharmaceutical formulations, and as a robust segmentation technology for microbial cells.
Behavioral Tests for Autism Spectrum Disorders using a Mouse Model
Dr. Lucio Costa and co-workers describe six different behavioral tests in the three main areas affected in ASD (repetitive behavior, communication, social interactions).

Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Isolation and Characterization
New protocols for the isolation of UC-MSCs are explored, including several helpful, individual protocols to aid quality control and ensure that the UC-MSCs are characterized thoroughly while improving yield.
Enzymes Play a Role in Corneal Blindness
New research has revealed that a pair of catalytic enzymes, called extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2), may play an essential role in the development of corneal blindness. (Image credit: MJTH/Shutterstock).
Bacteria-Driven Drug Delivery Carriers: A Paradigm Shift
Bacteria-driven microswimmers can release the therapeutic drug specifically at the site of disease by attaching to a certain type of eukaryotic cell.

Virtual Endovascular Treatment of Intracranial Aneurysms: Models and Uncertainty
Virtual endovascular treatment models (VETMs) have been developed with the view to aid interventional neuroradiologists and neurosurgeons to pre-operatively analyse the comparative efficacy and safety of endovascular treatments for intracranial aneurysms. Current deterministic computational simulations need to be extended with strategies for uncertainty mitigation, uncertainty exploration, and sensitivity reduction techniques.
