In a recent paper by Nikanjam and colleagues, synthetic low-density lipoprotein-like nanoparticles were prepared from commercial lipids and a bifunctional synthetic peptide containing the low ...

A particular obstacle has been the tendency of light-emitting molecules to interact with each other when concentrated in solid ... they could also introduce additional light-scattering elements such ...

The encapsulated nanoparticles increase the packing density, making it difficult for water and oxygen molecules to pass through the film. The nanoparticles also actively adsorb and react with water ...

The Nautilus team’s solution was to create nanofabricated landing pads on the chess board and use intermediate molecules – DNA origami-based nanoparticles – that are the exact same size as the landing ...

It's a disturbing thought: At this very moment, tiny crumbs of plastic are trickling through our bodies, a parade of unwelcome houseguests ready to take up residence in some tissue or organ. The ...

Penn Engineers have modified lipid nanoparticles (LNPs)—the revolutionary ... evolved to keep out virtually any dangerous or foreign molecules, including most medicines; mRNA molecules are ...

Building blocks include amphiphilic peptides that can self-assemble into nanospheres and recombinant protein polymers containing nonnatural amino acids to generate hybrid materials. Application of ...

Nanocomplexes are nano-aggregates formed by non-covalent interactions between carrier molecules, such as proteins or oligosaccharides ... pyrrolidone carboxylate (PMCP) is a cationic, amphiphilic ...
