• Watching molecules grow into microtubes

  A team of researchers at Washington University in St. Louis, headed by Srikanth Singamaneni, PhD, assistant professor of mechanical engineering & materials science, unexpectedly found the mechanism by which tiny single molecules spontaneously grow into centimeter-long microtubes by leaving a dish fo more

• Nanostructures with living cells
  

  Using Laser Technology, Aleksandr Ovsianikov from the Vienna University of Technology wants to create microstructures with embedded living cells. This project will be funded by an ERC Starting Grant. The behavior of cells strongly depends on their environment. If they are to be researched an manipul more

• Novel nanostructured biodegradable polymer matrices fabricated by phase separation techniques for tissue regeneration

  Publication date: June 2013 Source:Acta Biomaterialia, Volume 9, Issue 6 Author(s): S.-h. Hsu , S. Huang , Y.-C. Wang , Y.-C. Kuo Biomimetic nanostructures have a wide range of applications. In particular, biodegradable polymer nanostructures that mimic the subtleties of extracellular matr more

• Galactosylated Micelles for a Ribavirin Prodrug Targeting to Hepatocytes

  Polymeric micelles potentially able to carry to hepatocytes a ribavirin (RBV) prodrug, exploiting the presence of carbohydrate receptors, that is, ASGPR, were prepared starting from a galactosylated polylactide-polyaminoacid conjugate. This latter was obtained by chemical reaction of α,β-poly(N-2-hy more
