Malignant brain tumors are heterogeneous and invasive, with high morbidity and mortality rates. The main challenge associated in treating such tumors is the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which actively filters out molecules entering from the blood stream.

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.
Applying mature imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) or combining IMS with other imaging techniques to analyze biological interactions builds a bridge between physiology and ecology and creates a more complete depiction of nature.
Investigating EV production and purification methods by mimicking the natural release process of EVs in blood capillaries with a bioinspired mechanical microfluidic method.
Andraž Krajnc, Nataša Zabukovec Logar, Gregor Mali, and co-workers present a new type of microporous aluminophosphate for high-density storage of solar energy or waste heat in Advanced Energy Materials.
A chemistry and engineering nano-solution that aims to safeguard Earth against climate change can be imagined metaphorically as a “Life Raft” that will sustain renewable energy systems and living systems “thriving and buoyant” over the next thousand years when fully deployed around the globe.
Sperm cells are attractive as propulsion sources or as functional components in robotic microswimmers to realize complex tasks in the body.
Extracellular vesicles are highly biocompatible and efficient carriers for targeted and personalized drug delivery.
