Investigating how nanomaterials interact with the components involved in blood coagulation is an important step towards utilizing nanomedicine safely without causing dysregulation of hemostasis that could result in serious thrombotic and/or hemorrhagic pathologies.
Blood-Detox with Red Blood Cell Microreactors
Red blood cell (RBC)-based delivery systems are emerging as natural biocarriers in a wide range of clinical applications, including blood detoxification.
Just a Pinch of Base or Acid: Enhancing Proton Transport in Peptide Fibrils
Biological inspired proton transfer is investigated in a recent publication in Advanced Functional Materials.
Insights into Nuclear Dynamics using Live-Cell Imaging Approaches
CRISPR is a newly developed, but rapidly advancing, genome editing technique that has advanced the nuclear imaging field by providing a means to fluorescently label a dead Cas9 protein fused with green fluorescent protein (dCas9-GFP), allowing scientists to microscopically track where certain proteins bind to the DNA.
Reengineering Red Blood Cells for Cellular Therapeutics and Diagnostics
Red blood cells can be opened and resealed without affecting their functional characteristics, allowing scientists new opportunities in therapeutics and diagnostics.
Silk E-Skin
Beijing-based researchers design an electronic (E-skin) based on silk fibroin for wearable pressure sensor applications.
Water-Resistant Multicolored Bioimaging Probes
A bright future ahead for bioimaging and optoelectronics, as researchers demonstrate enhanced stability of perovskite nanocrystals by incorporation into polymer matrix microhemispheres.
Printing Life – Bioprinting of Thermoresponsive Hydrogels
The properties and use of thermo-responsive hydrogels in bioprinting are discussed in a recent review by R. Suntornnond et. al.
Renal Clearable Noble Metal Nanoparticles
Metal nanoparticles have demonstrated broad and promising biomedical applications in research laboratories, but to fulfill their potential in the clinic demands extensive effort to minimize their non‐specific accumulation in the body.
