A Joint Virtual Issue between the European Journal of Immunology and Cytometry Part A presents several publications on the latest developments in cancer diagnostics and immunotherapy.
Virtual Issues in BioEssays
BioEssays offers a variety of online special collections compiling review-style articles from various topic areas.
Targeted Nanoparticles for Head and Neck Cancer
Nanoparticles can assist in treatment of Head and Neck Cancer patients by optimizing distribution of chemotherapy drugs for better outcomes and less side effects.
A High-Throughput Cell Chemotaxis and Migration Inhibitor Screen
A protocol for a unique high-throughput assay to identify novel small-molecule inhibitors of cell migration.
Red-Blood-Cell-Mimetic Nanoparticles against Breast Cancer
A nanosized drug delivery system is developed, which significantly inhibits tumor growth and metastasis formation of breast cancer when loaded with the drug paclitaxel.
Catching Circulating Tumor Cells
Interfaces to capture, detect, and analyze circulating tumor cells are reviewed, which give a valuable insight into tumor progression and metastasis.
An Old Drug in a New Form: Dithiolethione Prodrug Micelles
Polymeric prodrug micelles for delivery of a dithiolethione drug have been designed and synthesized from amphiphilic diblock copolymers.
Exploiting surface tension for patterned cell co-cultures
A simple method for 3D patterning of cell co-cultures has been developed based on capillary forces in a nanostructured microchannel.
From Stem Cells to Nanotoxicology: Welcome to the World of Dr. David Tai Leong
David Tai Leong answers some questions about his world of nanobiology and new biomaterials.
