Stainless steel-like FeCrNi nanostructures via electrodeposition into AAO templates using a mixed-solvent Cr(III)-based electrolyte

Enrico Bertero

Electrodeposition of stainless steel-like materials such as FeCrNi alloy into micro- and nanotemplates provides a sustainable framework for creating biomedical-oriented micro- and nanocomponents with outstanding characteristics. While Cr(III)-based electro ...

A General and Facile Approach for the Electrochemical Reduction of Carbon Dioxide Inspired by Deep Eutectic Solvents

Paul Joseph Dyson, Dmitry Vasilyev

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) were applied to the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR). Choline-based DESs represent a non-toxic and inexpensive alternative to room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) as additives to the system or as electrolyte. F ...

Polymeric Micelles Loading Proteins through Concurrent Ion Complexation and pH-Cleavable Covalent Bonding for In Vivo Delivery

Francesco Stellacci, Suiyang Liao

Protein drugs have great potential as targeted therapies, yet their application suffers from several drawbacks, such as instability, short half-life, and adverse immune responses. Thus, protein delivery approaches based on stimuli-responsive nanocarriers c ...

Fluorinated surfactants in droplet-based microfluidics: Influence of their composition on the properties of emulsion drops

Gianluca Nicolas Etienne

Miniaturization has been a driving force in many areas of science and technology, most notably in the electronics industry. Droplet-based microfluidics, a methode to produce emulsion drops in a controlled way and at high-throughputs, enables the miniaturiz ...

Development of functionalized alginate-based hydrogels to reduce fibrosis in the transplantation of microencapsulated cells

François Rémi Pierre Noverraz

Nowadays, the development of cell therapy relies mainly on the advances made toward cell microencapsulation which allows to evade the need for immunosuppression during cell transplantation. Among the materials considered for cell encapsulation, hydrogels d ...

Composite Double-Network Hydrogels To Improve Adhesion on Biological Surfaces

Dominique Pioletti, Peyman Karami, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Christophe Moser, Andreas Schmocker, Azadeh Khoushabi, Céline Samira Wyss, Martin Broome

Despite the development of hydrogels with high mechanical properties, insufficient adhesion between these materials and biological surfaces significantly limits their use in the biomedical field. By controlling toughening processes, we designed a composite ...

Structure of Lipid Nanoparticles Containing siRNA or mRNA by Dynamic Nuclear Polarization-Enhanced NMR Spectroscopy

David Lyndon Emsley, Aaron James Rossini, Arthur César Pinon, Jasmine Viger-Gravel

Here, we show how dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) NMR spectroscopy experiments permit the atomic level structural characterization of loaded and empty lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). The LNPs used here were synthesized by the microfluidic mixing technique a ...

Tailoring swelling to control softening mechanisms during cyclic loading of PEG/cellulose hydrogel composites

Dominique Pioletti, Azadeh Khoushabi, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Baris Çaglar, Céline Samira Wyss

One of the novel approaches for discogenic lower back pain treatment is to permanently replace the core of the intervertebral disc, so-called Nucleus Pulposus, through minimally invasive surgery. Recently, we have proposed Poly(Ethylene Glycol) Dimethacryl ...
