Despite the progress in nanotechnology for biomedical applications, great efforts are still
being employed in optimizing nanoparticle (NP) design parameters to improve functionality …

The emergence of multidrug-resistant pathogens and their rapid adaptation against new
antibiotics is a major challenge for scientists and medical professionals. Different …

RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutics appear to offer substantial opportunities for future
therapy. However, post-administration RNAi effectors are typically unable to reach disease …

It was demonstrated that oligonucleotides, independent of their base sequence and length,
could effectively induce the cellular uptake of mercapto acid-capped CdTe QDs after the …

Fe3O4@ C nanocapsules were synthesized via a sacrificial-template method by coating
SiO2 nanospheres with an Fe3O4@ C double-shell structure, followed by dissolving SiO2 …

To genuinely understand how complex biological structures function, we must integrate
knowledge of their dynamic behavior and of their molecular machinery. The combined use …

Microscopic imaging of the brain continues to reveal details of its structure, connectivity, and
function. To further improve our understanding of the emergent properties and functions of …

Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs), their size-dependent tunable absorption and emission
in the visible and near-infrared regions, narrow emission and broad absorption bands, large …

In this work we report synthesis and biological evaluation of a cellpenetrating peptide
(CPP), that is partly cyclized via a triazole bridge. Recently, beneficious properties have …

Glycosphingolipids are major components of the membrane raft, and several kinds of
viruses and bacterial toxins are known to bind to glycosphingolipids in the membrane raft …
