Metastasis of solid tumors is a key determinant of cancer patient survival. Targeting micrometastases using nanoparticles could offer a way to stop metastatic tumor growth before it causes excessive patient morbidity. However, nanoparticle delivery t...
Nano-Particles (NPs) are well established as important components across a broad range of products from cosmetics to electronics. Their utilization is increasing with their significant economic and societal potential yet to be fully realized. Inroads...
A versatile strategy, based on the use of an amphiphilic copolymer as a macromonomer, was developed for the preparation of a fully synthetic MIP (molecularly imprinted polymer) sensor for protein recognition. A UV-crosslinkable copolymer poly(DMA-co-...
Development of near infrared (NIR) light-responsive nanomaterials for high performance multimodal phototherapy within a single nanoplatform is still challenging in technology and biomedicine. Herein, a new phototherapeutic nanoagent based on FDA-appr...
Only a tiny fraction of the nanomedicine-design space has been explored, owing to the structural complexity of nanomedicines and the lack of relevant high-throughput synthesis and analysis methods. Here, we report a methodology for determining struct...

In recent years, natural and synthetic polymers have attracted much attention due to their great potentials in medical science. In the present study, we have investigated the effect of chitosan-bulk (Ch-bulk), chitosan nanoparticles (ChNP), chitosan ...
Preventing biological contamination (biofouling) is key to successful development of novel surface and nanoparticle-based technologies in the manufacturing industry and biomedicine. Protein adsorption is a crucial mediator of the interactions at the ...
Amyloid fibrillation of proteins is likely a key factor leading to the development of amyloidosis-associated diseases. Inhibiting amyloid fibrillation has become a crucial therapeutic strategy. Water-soluble, fluorescent silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs)...
