Technology
Carbon-dot nanosystem for photodynamic therapy
A carbon-dot nanosystem is developed for photodynamic therapy, which releases a photosensitizer bioprecursor in cancer cells upon irradiation.
Biodegradable nanoparticles for cancer therapy
Nanoparticles have proven to be a powerful tool in fighting cancer through the development of personalized therapy options.
Photocatalytic degradation of dye pollutants
A WO3–graphene photocatalyst has been developed that can efficiently degrade the dye Rhodamine B.
Targeted gene delivery for the treatment of atherosclerosis
Researchers from Georgia Tech and Emory University have used gold nanospheres for the targeted delivery of anti-miRNA into inflamed endothelial cells to suppress atherosclerosis.
Can Polymers Regenerate Teeth?
A common goal for tissue engineering has been finding a way to regenerate and repair the inflamed tissues.
Titania mania – peering into the heart of photocatalysis
4D ultra-fast electron microscopy can peer into and peel away the most subtle details and beauty of photocatalysis, providing a new sharp focus realism of human-made nano machinery for the solar powered fixation of CO2 to fuels and chemical feedstocks.
