Science fact catches up with science fiction: by exploiting magnetic levitation, biomanufacturing – creating living 3D structures – is now possible in zero gravity. Utkan Demirci discusses how this works.
Results for "stem cells"
How to “Grow” a Solar Cell
Biophotovoltaic devices by incorporation of oriented Photosystem I via phage display.
Electrically Driven Bio-Inspired Soft Robots
Researchers design a bio-inspired batoid robot from non-toxic hydrogels operated with Au microelectrodes.
Aneuploidy and Chromosomal Instability: Their Relationship and Consequences
In their review in BioEssays, Klaske Schukken and Floris Foijer discuss the different concepts and consequences of chromosomal instability and aneuploidy.
A Potent Magnetic Fluid Hyperthermia Agent for Cancer Treatment
Researchers develop a new anticancer agent composed of magnesium shallow-doped iron oxide superparamagnetic nanoparticles (SPNPs). The magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MNFH) agent is highly biocompatible and is able to completely eradicate Hep3B-induced tumors.
Octopus-Inspired Design of 3D-Printed Hybrid Metamaterials
New designs were fabricated via multimaterial 3D printing and potential applications of sequential particle release mechanisms were systematically explored.
Polymer Research at Sichuan University
A Macromolecular Rapid Communications special issue, Polymer Materials and Engineering Research at Sichuan University, highlights recent research developments in novel polymer processing technologies; polymer nanocomposites; multicomponent polymer systems and solution thermodynamics; macromolecular synthetic methodology; and functional polymers for energy, sustainability, the environment, and biomedical applications.
CD4 T-Cell Immunophenotyping for HIV/AIDS Research
For nearly 35 years, CD4 T-cells and their immunephenotyping and enumeration were the focal points of HIV/AIDS research.
Organization and Transport of Cell Chain Through Optofluidics
A team of Chinese researchers demonstrated an optofluidic strategy, by implanting the microfluidic technique with a large-tapered-angle fiber probe (LTAP), to organize and transport a cell chain in a noncontact and noninvasive manner.
Multimodal Agent for Cancer Diagnostics and Therapeutics
Chunmeng Shi and co-workers from the Third Military Medical University in Chongqing, China, introduce a small-molecule-based cancer theranostic agent for simultaneous cancer-cell mitochondrial targeting, NIR imaging, and chemo-/PDT/PTT/multimodal therapeutic activities.
