Thermometry at the nanoscale is an emerging area fostered by intensive research on nanoparticles (NPs) that are capable of converting electromagnetic waves into heat. Recent results suggest that stationary gradients can be maintained between the surface of NPs and the…
Unlike many step polymerizations, the polymerization of bifunctional thiol and alkene monomers can be carried in emulsion to prepare a range of sulfur-containing polymer particles differing markedly from conventional emulsion chain polymers. This study examines how the change of polymerization…
Epidemiological emerging evidence shows that human exposure to some nanosized materials present in the environment would contribute to the onset and/or progression of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The cellular and molecular mechanisms whereby nanoparticles would exert some adverse effects towards neurons…
Understanding the reversible reassembly properties of ferritins (FRTs) is crucial for enabling their applicability in nanomedicine. These properties include drug loading capabilities and also subsequent payload release in desired site-of-action. (216)
Tumor Protein D54 (TPD54) is an abundant cytosolic protein that belongs to the TPD52 family, a family of four proteins (TPD52, 53, 54 and 55) that are overexpressed in several cancer cells. Even though the functions of these proteins remain…
