High-efficiency non-ablative UV laser nano-scale processing of fused silica by stable filamentation
Yves Bellouard, Olivier Bernard, Benedikt Hermann, Luca Muscarella
Over the last decades, three-dimensional micro-manufacturing of fused silica via near-infrared ultrafast laser exposure combined with an etching step has become an established technique for producing complex three-dimensional components. Here, we explore t ...
2023Nanopore Generation in Biodegradable Silk/Magnetic Nanoparticle Membranes by an External Magnetic Field for Implantable Drug Delivery
Jürgen Brugger, Giovanni Boero, Xiao Sheng Zhang, Ya Wang
Implantable devices for localized and controlled drug release are important, e.g., for therapies of cancer and chronic pain. However, most of the existing active implants are limited by the usage of nonbiodegradable materials; thus, surgery is needed to ex ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2022A fluorescent multi-domain protein reveals the unfolding mechanism of Hsp70
Paolo De Los Rios, Pierre Goloubinoff, Satyam Tiwari, Bruno Claude Daniel Fauvet, Salvatore Assenza
Detailed understanding of the mechanism by which Hsp70 chaperones protect cells against protein aggregation is hampered by the lack of a comprehensive characterization of the aggregates, which are typically heterogeneous. Here we designed a reporter chaper ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2022Silk granular hydrogels self-reinforced with regenerated silk fibroin fibers
Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Peyman Karami, Céline Samira Wyss, Adrien Julien Demongeot
Granular hydrogels with high stability, strength, and toughness are laborious to develop. Post-curing is often employed to bind microgels chemically and enhance mechanical properties. Here a unique strategy was investigated to maintain microgels together w ...
2021Reversibly Cross-Linking Polymer Brushes Using Interchain Disulfide Bonds
The introduction of interchain cross-links in surface-grafted polymer brushes increases the robustness and mechanical properties of these thin polymer films. In most cases, cross-linked polymer brushes contain permanent interchain cross-links. The use of r ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2020Microwave Imaging of Brain Stroke
Brain stroke is an age-related illness which has become a major issue in our ageing societies. Early diagnosis and treatment are of high importance for the full recovery of the patient, as reminded in Anglo-Saxon countries by the abbreviation FAST (Face, A ...
