Drug-free macromolecular therapeutic systems can target and kill cancer cells without causing the side-effects of the drugs currently in clinical use.
Micro-/Nanotechnology
Black Phosphorous: Size-Dependent Toxicity Implications
The concentration-, size-, and cell type-dependent response to layered black phosphorous is explored to maximise its potential and avoid future problems.
Targeted Drug Delivery through Microswimmers
Soft microswimmers that use a combination of acoustic and magnetic fields to demonstrate motion with precise manoeuvrability in a blood vessel.
3D Printing of Tunable Poisson Ratio Metallic Aerogels
Control over macro- and microstructures, density, conductivity, and Poisson ratio is enabled by this new combined metallic aerogel production technique.
The Protein Corona on Nanoparticles as viewed from a Nanoparticle Sizing Perspective
A biomolecular adsorption layer (corona) forms on essentially all nanoparticles immersed in biological fluids, and governs their interactions with the biological environment. Key aspects of protein corona formation and its structure and dynamics have yet remained elusive and call for further investigations.
Stabilization and Denaturation of DNA Origami Nanostructures
The stability of DNA origami under strongly denaturing conditions is investigated.
Periodic Silver Nanopore and Nanoparticle Arrays with Controlled Shape and Size
A unique and versatile approach to creating ordered silver nanostructures is presented that allows for feature shape alteration in a simple and inexpensive manner.
Drug Nanocrystals for Cancer Therapy
Drug nanocrystals deliver drugs via oral, intravenous, and local administration and show promise towards treating cancer more effectively.
The Fourth Dimension: Fabricating Artificial Blood Vessels with 4D Bioprinting
An advanced 4D bioprinting approach uses shape-morphing, biopolymer hydrogels to form the basis for blood vessels and other tubular structures in artificial tissues and organs.
A Powerful Tool for Nanostructures
Abetz Volker and his team demonstrate how complex nanostructures can be achieved by polymer blending.
