Effects of nanowires on fibroblast dynamics
Bigger is not necessarily better: when it comes to culturing fibroblasts on nanowire substrates, there are several reasons to reconsider the use of long nanowires.
No Dyes for Emission Control: Quantum Dot FRET Isolation Provides the Full Spectrum
Controlled physical placement of quantum dots inside block copolymer microspheres determines the combined emission characteristics.
Nanotoxicology
Nanomaterials have so much to offer – the sooner we uncover their interactions with biological systems and the mechanisms behind them, the sooner we can apply nanomaterials to safe, effective, advanced technologies. That’s why this special issue on Nanotoxicology in Small was just too big to publish as a single issue…
