Helical Magnetic Nanomotors Fabrication, Toxicity and Therapeutics
The 21st century dawned with remarkable advances in the controlled motion of nanoparticles. These particles could be manipulated through external energy sources (chemical, magnetic, acoustic, or biological), resulting in ...
Improving Healing Outcomes in Diabetic Wounds by Understanding and Modulating Immune Responses
Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFUs) are chronic wounds that show delayed or absence of healing in individuals with diabetes. Currently, diabetic wounds are managed clinically through regular debridement, pressure off-loading, ...
Analysis of vocal sounds in asthmatic patients
Around 334 million people have asthma worldwide. Asthma is an inflammatory disease of the airways which causes cough, breathlessness, chest tightness, and other peculiar sounds during breathing. The golden standard test ...
Functional regulation of cytoplasmic dynein in vivo
In the crowded confines of the eukaryotic cell, where large cargo (> 100 nm) are diffusionaly constrained, intracellular transport by motor proteins plays a crucial role in the exchange of material between various compartments ...
Engineering 3D Organotypic Models for the Study of Breast Cancer Metastasis
Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among women the world over.
Metastasis, or, the spreading of the primary tumor to other vital organs, is the major
cause of mortality in breast cancer. Metastasis is a ...
Mechanistic insights into the effects and applications of shockwaves in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms
Shock waves are non-linear waves propagating at speeds greater than the speed of sound, with a unique characteristic of instantaneously increasing the pressure, temperature and density of the medium through which they ...
Molecular determinants of self-assembly of the pore forming toxin Cytolysin A
Pore forming toxins (PFTs) belong to a class of bacterial exotoxins that disrupt the
biological membrane barrier by formation of nanopores. These toxins are central to
the virulence of pathogens such as S. pneumoniae, ...
Role of Fiber Orientations in the Mechanobiology of Cells under Stretch
Fiber reinforcement plays an important role in the structure and function of biological materials. Soft connective tissues in human body like artery, heart tissues, skin etc. exhibit anisotropic material responses due to ...
Resolvin D1-loaded Liposomal Nanocarriers for the Treatment of Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common disorder of the joints and currently affects >300 million patients worldwide. In this disease, the articulating cartilage undergoes progressive damage which leads to severe pain and ...
Towards a Better Understanding of the Interaction between Phagocytic Immune Cells and Synthetic Particulates
Particulate technology has transformed the field of diagnostic and therapeutic medicine due to the ability of particulates to provide better contrast in various imaging modalities and improve the targeting of therapeutic ...
