Biocompatible, Biodegradable EPL/PCL Nanoparticles with Effective Antibacterial Activity

Many experimental and clinical data have demonstrated that antibiotic-resistance pathogens, such as Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), may play a vital role in priming chronic inflammation. There is thus a great need to develop novel antibacterial materials, and particularly those that are less likely to lead to bacterial resistance.

NEMS-Based Mass Sensor Also Reveals Shape of Individual Molecules

Building on their creation of the first-ever mechanical device that can measure the mass of individual molecules, one at a time, a team of Caltech scientists and their colleagues have created nanodevices that can also reveal their shape. Such information is crucial when trying to identify large protein molecules or complex assemblies of protein molecules.

SEM Measurements are Affected by Variations in Gate’s 3D Shape During Nanoscale Chip Fabrication

As microchip feature dimensions approach atomic scale, it becomes formidably difficult to measure their size and shape. According to the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors, within the next couple of years the typical length of a transistor’s “gate” – its on-off switch – will be less than 20 nanometers (nm, billionths of a meter).

New Self-Assembling Biomaterial Offers Promising Approach to Deliver Cell and Tissue Therapies

Unlike scaffold-based methods to engineer human tissues for regenerative medicine applications, an innovative synthetic material with the ability to self-assemble into nanostructures to support tissue growth and ultimately degrade offers a promising new approach to deliver cell and tissue therapies. The unique properties of this biofunctional coating that enable it to stimulate and direct the formation of complex tissues are described in an article in Tissue Engineering, Part A, a peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., Publishers . The article is available free on the Tissue Engineering website.
