A team of scientists from Belgium investigated the plasma‐induced chemistry in organic solutions of polylactic acid (PLA), and their effects on the resultant PLA nanofibers.
Holograms with Complex Surface Patterning
A method to record polarization holograms with complex hierarchical structures from an isosorbide-based azo molecular glass (IA-Chol).
A Noah’s-Ark-Like Cell Carrier for Tissue Regeneration [Video]
Highly porous microspheres are developed as injectable scaffolds for tissue regeneration based on polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), a family of natural biopolyesters.
Multicomponent Nanostructure Architectures in a Controlled Manner
Complicated bulk multicomponent nanostructures with more than two components are fabricated.
Modularized Production of Fuels: From Distributed, Wasted, or Stranded Feedstocks

Syringe-Free: Oral Vaccine against Helicobacter pylori
To fight antibiotic-resistant pathogens, and to ensure wide-spread application and high compliance, oral vaccinations are desirable, but pose drug delivery complications. An efficient nanoparticle system for vaccination against stomach ulcer causing Helicobacter pylori was recently reported.
Copy and Paste Genome: A Closer Look at Heritable L1 Retrotransposition
In their review published in BioEssays, Sandra Richardson and Geoffrey Faulkner discuss the origins and implications of L1 retrotransposition events during development.
Chemically Engineered Fusion Proteins beyond Nature’s Machinery
Bioactive entities are combined into structurally ordered multidomain protein complexes to mitigate selective targeting of a hallmark protein molecule in cancer diseases.
