Biodegradeable Nanofiber 'Patch' Seeded with hiPSC-CMs to Create Secure Environment for Stem Cells to Engraft

Stem cell-based therapies have the potential to transform the treatment of almost every major health condition, but possibly none quite as prevalent as heart disease. As the world’s number one cause of death, heart disease kills more than 7.5 million people each year, and its irreversible course leaves millions more dependent on devices and medications to survive.

Scientists Demonstrate Intrinsic Chirality in Ordinary Nanocrystals

Scientists from the Trinity College Dublin and the ITMO University have demonstrated that ordinary nanocrystals have intrinsic chirality, and this occurs due to chiral defects that take place naturally during normal nanocrystal synthesis. They have shown that the chiral nanocrystals could be produced as a half-and-half mixture under normal conditions and these would be mirror images of one another. This finding in nanocrystals has opened new possibilities in medicine, bio-technology and nanobiotechnology. In medicine it could be used for targeted delivery of drugs.
