A polymetallodrug that overcomes the side effects of conventional anticancer phototherapy has been synthesized.
Porous silicon nanoparticles improve diabetic wound healing
Researchers from the University of South Australia reveal how they use non-toxic porous silicon nanoparticles (pSi NPs) for the controlled release of FnAb to diabetic wounds.
Nanovesicles Prompt Self-Renewal of Bone Marrow Stem Cells
“Man-made” extracellular vesicle-mimetic nanovesicles developed with characteristics similar to those of extracellular vesicles.
Pure Protein Bilayers and Vesicles from Native Fungal Hydrophobins
Professor Seemann and his colleagues discovered how bilayers made purely from hydrophobins were created using a microfluidic technique.
Pro- or Anti- Inflammatory Effects of Caffeine
A recent report explores the pro- or anti-inflammatory effects of caffeine to gain a better understanding of the potential effects of coffee consumption on inflammation.
Smart hydrogels rapidly stop blood loss
Researchers report the first example of a hydrogel for wound healing with both rapid self-healing ability and high mechanical strength.
Neutrophil behavior after surgery puts patient at risk
Surgical injury induces a system stress response which is associated with an over-activation of the innate immune response and a subsequent immunosuppression in the early post-operative period.
