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.
Tumor Prodrug to Monitor Therapeutic Success
A tumor prodrug, which is able to monitor drug release and therapeutic success in real time, is developed.
Improving the acceptance of implants by multifunctional coatings
Rejection or diminished functionability of implants are frequent problems. A new type of coating could limit associated infections and inflammations.
Advanced Healthcare Materials Celebrates Its New Impact Factor!
In the recently released 2015 Journal Citation report, Advanced Healthcare Materials received its first two-year full Impact Factor of 5.79
Improving nanoparticle cellular uptake
A group at the University of Adelaide have developed an intracellular GSH-responsive drug delivery system with enhanced cellular uptake capability.
Light-sensitive polymers for controlled gene silencing
New research describes the use of polymers that can bind siRNAs into nanoscale assemblies that do not disassemble until they are irradiated with UV light.
Controlling cell gene expression with hydrogels
Researchers have developed a hydrogel system containing a spatial gradient of siRNA and studied its effects on encapsulated cells.
Better insulin-cell producing transplants
Researchers develop a nanothin anti-inflammatory polymer material capable of decreasing immune responses involved in insulin-cell transplantation rejection.
