Attraction and Repulsion: Cellular Micropatterns on a Graphene Film
Cells can be grown in micropatterns of poly-D-lysine on graphene, opening a door for cell bassed sensor applications.
Non-viral nanoparticle vectors delivering biomolecules more efficiently
Scientists have found an efficient way to deliver nanoparticles containing a wide range of biomolecules without using endocytosis, for faster drug delivery.
Want to smash stuff on cellulose bioplastics? Just add polyethylene!
Bioplastics have often poor mechanical properties. Adding a small amount of traditional petroleum plastics solves the problem.
