NANOCYTES-Technology – Biomimetic nanoparticles for molecular recognition by molecular imprinting
Schreiber T., Niedergall K., Wojciukiewicz D., Gose T., Gruber-Traub C., Weber A., Hirth T., Tovar G.E.M., University of Stuttgart & Fraunhofer Gesellschaft, DE
Communication of living systems is done by molecular recognition. This central principle of the living world is performed at the contact sites of different objects such as single macromolecules or highly complex supramolecular assemblies as [...]
Structuring Membrane Proteins as Tools in Material Science
Two membrane proteins derived from yeast, Yop1p and Rtn1p, have been engineered, heterogeneously expressed and purified. Both proteins are membrane spanning and can be found in all eukaryotes in which they are used for structural [...]
Multilayer BioDerivatized Nanoparticle Composites by Electric Field Directed Self-Assembly
An electronic microarray has been used to carry out directed self-assembly of higher order 3D structures from biotin/streptavidin, DNA and enzyme derivatized nanoparticles. Structures with up to fifty layers of alternating biotin and streptavidin, DNA [...]
Application of insect virus polyhedra to protein nanocontainers
Certain insect viruses encode a protein called polyhedrin that forms polyhedric crystals, or polyhedra, within an infected cell. The virus particles, or virions, are protected within these polyhedra and can remain infectious for years outside [...]
New Multimodal Iron Oxide Nanoparticles as Nanotools for Cancer
Benyettou F., Chebbi I., Lalatonne Y., Sainte-Catherine O., Di Benedetto M., Lecouvey M., Seksek O., Motte L., Université Paris 13, FR
The goal of this project is to elaborate new multifunctional magnetic nanovectors to vectorize biological interest molecules for therapy and diagnostic applications. Indeed, iron oxide nanoparticles, tanks to their magnetic properties, are used as contrast [...]
Effect of cytosol on the dynamic behaviours of microtubules
The cytosol effect on the dynamic behaviours of microtubules (MTs)is examined based on a newly developed shell-Stokes flow model. The phonon dispersion relations are predicted and the damping effect of cytosol is quantifies. Three differernt [...]
Ultra-Structural Analysis of the Interaction of Carboxylated Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes with Human Blood Platelets
Lacerda S.H., Semberova. J., Holada. K., Simakova O., Gelderman-Fuhrmann M.P., Simak J., Simakova O., FDA, US
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are a promising new class of materials with many potential biomedical applications. CNTs have profound impact on the development of diagnostic biosensors, drug delivery nanosystems, imaging nanoprobes for intravascular use or other [...]
Molecular imprinted nanoPolymer nanomaterials: application in biomolecule recognition
Molecular imprinting has proved to be an effective technique for generating specific recognition sites in synthetic nanopolymers. These sites are tailor-made in situ by copolymerization of functional monomers and cross-linked around the template molecules. The [...]
Hybrid Poly(L-Lactide) (PLA) Nanofibers Incorporating POSS-Modified Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes Prepared by Electrospinning
Kim B.S., Kim I.S., Kim K-O, Kim Y-A, Jeong I., Kim B.S., Kim I.S., Kim K-O, Kim Y-A, Kim B.S., Kim I.S., Kim K-O, Kim Y-A, Kim B.S., Kim I.S., Kim K-O, Kim Y-A, Shinshu University, JP
Organic–inorganic hybrid composites have attracted considerable attention because of their distinctive physical and chemical properties. Specifically, the multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT)-polymer composites among them has expected when uniform dispersion of the MWNTs in the polymer [...]
Mechanochemical and Sonochemical Synthesis of Bio Based Nanoparticles
•The size reduction process for seashell particles can be efficiently used for the production of Aragonite CaCO3 bio nanoparticles. A mechanichemical and sonochemical method was developed to synthesize bio calcium carbonate nanoparticles.
Mammalian cells in nanocapsules:fiber production in co-flowing ambient liquid stream
Mammalian cell-enclosed in nanocapsules have been investigated as devices for bioproduction, cell therapy and stem cell research. Reduction in the diameter of the vehicles is an important issue as it induces beneficial effects such as [...]
Optimization of preparation conditions for size-controlled solid lipid nanoparticles
This study is to prepare solid lipid nanoparticles, with target sizes at 100, 500 and 1000 nm. Nanocrystallization method was applied to prepare solid lipid nanoparticles using beef tallow, hydrogenated soybean oil and hydrogenated palm [...]
Agarose coating improves protein stability during sustained release
The advances in drug-delivery systems over recent decades highly improved the effectiviness of drug administration. Biocompatible, biodegradable porous silicon microparticles stable can be modified to provide controlled release and enhanced stability of the loaded/encapsulated bioactive [...]
Mutations of cypovirus polyhedrin and applications of polyhedra to protein nanocontainers
Cypoviruses, a member of the family Reoviridae, are one group of insect virus that produce micrometer-sized protein crystals called cytoplasmic polyhedra. Many virus particles are occluded in polyhedra to protect them against extracellular environment. Recently [...]
Preparation of Novel Ferrocene-based Shell Cross-linked Thermoresponsive Hybrid Micelles with Anti-tumor Efficacy
Shell cross-linked (SCL) thermoresponsive hybrid micelle consisting of a cross-linked thermoresponsive hybrid shell and a hydrophobic core domain was synthesized from poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-aminoethyl methacrylate)-b-polymethyl methacrylate (P(NIPAAm-co-AMA)-b-PMMA) amphiphilic block copolymers via a two-step process: micellization of P(NIPAAm-co-AMA)-b-PMMA [...]
