An l-proline based thermoresponsive and pH-switchable nanogel as a drug delivery vehicle
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018-04)The synthesis and characterisation of a novel dual stimuli-responsive nanogel, based on thermoresponsive N-n-propylacrylamide and an l-proline based monomer acting as a pH-switcher, is reported here. The effect of the ... -
Biocompatible Phenylboronic-Acid-Capped ZnS Nanocrystals Designed As Caps in Mesoporous Silica Hybrid Materials for on-Demand pH-Triggered Release In Cancer Cells.
(2018-10)Biocompatible ZnS-based nanocrystals capped with 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid (ZnS@B) have been size-designed as excellent pH-responsive gatekeepers on mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), which encapsulate fluorophore ... -
De novo targeting to the cytoplasmic and luminal side of bacterial microcompartments.
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-08-24)Bacterial microcompartments, BMCs, are proteinaceous organelles that encase a specific metabolic pathway within a semi-permeable protein shell. Short encapsulation peptides can direct cargo proteins to the lumen of the ... -
Alternative Particle Formation Pathways in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific's Biological Carbon Pump
(2018-07-01)©2018. The Authors. A fraction of organic carbon produced in the oceans by phytoplankton sinks storing 5–15 gigatonnes of carbon annually in the ocean interior. The accepted paradigm is that rapid aggregation of phytoplankton ... -
Underlying wishes and nudged choices.
(American Psychological Association, 2018-08-16)Is the inferred preference of a deceased relative to donate his or her organs stronger when the choice was made under a mandated rather than under an automatic default (i.e., nudged choice) legislative system? The answer ...
