Hydrogel Microparticles Protecting against Counterfeit and Deteriorated Products
Multi-functional, biodegradable hydrogel microparticles that provide information on the authenticity and the potential deterioration of a tagged food or pharmaceutical formulation directly prior to consumption/use is presented.
Using Laserbeams To Safely Operate on Teeth
A team of German scientist developed a new laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy approach that can differentiate between hard and soft tissue in the mouth region and could help improve surgical dental treatment.

STORMing their way to Nanoparticle–Protein Interaction Understanding
STORMing towards a better understanding of protein corona formation on nanoparticles (NPs), to enable better design of NPs for biomedical applications.
Mimicry in Butterflies: The Muse, the Palette and the Artist
A caterpillar prepares for its legendary transformation from a pupa into a colorful butterfly. Through this metamorphosis, a bag of developmental genetic tricks lays down bright color patterns that help the butterfly attract its mates and warn or fool its predators.
Particle Targeting in Complex Biological Media
Parameters that affect the biological performance of particles and highlight strategies for improved targeting ability of particles.
Two Decades of Dendrimers as Versatile MRI Agents: A Tale with and without Metals
A vast number of metallic and non-metallic labels can be conjugated to the dendrimer surface in order to transform them into MRI agents. Due to their multiple branches and high payload they can be readily detected, for example, following local delivery to a brain tumor.
Improved FMT Technology To Image Deep Tissue Regions
German scientists recently developed an improved FMT reconstruction for the imaging of deep tissue regions which could be beneficial in imaging colon cancer and inflammatory bowel disease.
