Mechanisms of Carbon Nanotube-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis: A Physicochemical Characteristic Perspective
Pulmonary exposure to carbon nanotubes can result in direct interaction with cells in the lung and result in an increased myofibroblast population thereby enhancing fibrogenesis, the severity of which is determined by physicochemical characteristics of the nanotubes and genetic susceptibility.

Reaching for the Stars at a Microscopic Level
A microscopic light-fueled microhand designed to capture microscopic objects.
Last Chance for Free Access to this Special Issue in Macromolecular Bioscience!
This special issue of Macromolecular Bioscience was dedicated to the 65th birthday of Prof. Kazunori Kataoka.
Natural Fatty Acids as Gating Materials for Near-Infrared-Triggered Drug Release
Natural fatty acid eutetic mixtures offer an inexpensive, chemically stable and biocompatible gating material alternative for NIR-triggered drug release nanoparticles for cancer therapy.
Anisogel: A New Hybrid Hydrogel for Tissue Regenerative Therapy
A new type of hybrid hydrogel for tissue regenerative therapy—Anisogel—is developed by Abdolrahman Omidinia-Anarkoli, Laura De Laporte, and co-workers from the Leibniz Institute for Interactive Materials in Aachen, Germany. This low-invasive hydrogel is promising for healing body tissues that consist of an aligned architecture, such as the heart, kidney, muscles, and nerves.
Photovoltaic Devices with Tailored Structures
Supramolecules based on the flat-on P3HT chains and grafted rGO nanosheets in the P3HT:PCBM active layers have shown improved performance as photovoltaic devices.
High-Entropy Alloy-Coated Nanolattice Structures
In this work microfabricated three-dimensional polymeric nanolattices were conformably coated with a thin layer of high-entropy alloy (CoCrFeNiAl0.3) film via physical vapor deposition.
Triboelectric Nanogenerators: Materials Optimisation and PEC Water Splitting
Triboelectric nanogenerators are an exciting frontier in small-scale applications, converting low-frequency mechanical energy into an alternating current.
