Antibacterial coatings cut infection rates

...fferent devices. We now have a very good basis for tailoring these coatings towards particular biomedical devices and are using this knowledge to work with Sydney-based company, Biosignal Limited, to develop antibacterial contact lenses," Professor Griesser said. "This is an excellent example of where we can ...

Nano-particles effective in killing cancer with one-two punch of chemotherapeutics

...g- and gene-delivery capabilities of polymersomes, tailoring their shapes, sizes, loading and degradability to each application. Discher theorizes that polymersomes could be made capable of traveling to places in the body that are difficult for most drug-carrier systems to access. ...

NYU researchers decorate virus particles, showing potential to enhance MRI capabilities

...oats of viruses provide an attractive platform for tailoring the physical properties and functions of molecular assemblies because they contain a large number of chemically reactive groups organized in a very precise array. Other researchers have recently sought to enhance MRI capabilities through the use of s...
