Potential Toxicity of Silver Nanomaterials on the Reproductive System
A study that looks at how silver nanomaterials could affect the female reproductive system.
Crowded Work: Enzyme Kinetics in an Organelle-Like Environment
For the first time, the activity of an enzyme in a crowded environment vs a nonencapsulated enzyme is studied.
Nanogels for photothermal and photodynamic therapy
Marcelo Calderón and co-workers report on the design of a responsive nanogel system for a combined photothermal and photodynamic therapy of cancer. Based on a radical precipitation method, the near infrared absorbing cyanine green dye IR806 was conjugated to the macro crosslinker polyglycerol and polymerized into a thermoresponsive polyether based nanogel network.
Oxygen Nanocarrier for Combined Cancer Therapy
This nanocarrier shows excellent oxygen-carrying properties and ATP-responsive drug release, which makes it a potent agent for cancer therapy.
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.
Poly(phosphate) for Bone Formation
Poly(phosphate): An excellent review about the polymer’s physiological function, its biochemistry and its role during bone mineralization.
Biological and nanotoxicity assay for cellular nanoparticles
The combination of flow cytometry and X-ray fluorescence enables semi-quantitative estimation of cellular SiO2 nanoparticles and their biological effects.
