Influenza Antiviral Agent Regulates ROS
Polymeric nanoparticles acting as intracellular ROS regulators show promise as antiviral agents in influenza-infected kidney cells.
Polypeptides as Structural Materials via Chemoenzymatic Synthesis
Polypeptides have a rich variety of structures and functions. Their chemoenzymatic synthesis is reviewed by the Enzyme Research Team at RIKEN, Japan.
RNA Nanotechnology and Biomedical Applications: RNA Versatility, Flexibility and Thermostability
Recent advances in fabricating RNA nanostructures are highlighted, including their applications in vivo as imaging or therapeutic devices via specific delivery and targeting, or intracellular expression and assembly.
Molecular Therapeutics for Drug-Free Cancer Treatment
Drug-free macromolecular therapeutic systems can target and kill cancer cells without causing the side-effects of the drugs currently in clinical use.
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.
