Temperature-sensitive nanoparticles for controlled drug delivery
TL;DR: In this paper, a novel device/system and extracorporeally controlled method of drug delivery provides a system comprising a thermally active metal nanoshell; and a temperature-responsive interpenetrating polymer network having at least one therapeutic agent disposed therein.
Journal ArticleDOI
Macroencapsulation devices for cell therapy
Wei Chen Liu,Yanfang Wang,Jinqiang Wang,Olivia L. Lanier,Marissa E. Wechsler,Nicholas A. Peppas,Zhen Gu +6 more
TL;DR: Macroencapsulation has been widely used in cell therapy due to its capability to provide immune-privileged sites for implanted allogeneic or xenogeneic cells as mentioned in this paper .
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrostatic and Covalent Assemblies of Anionic Hydrogel-Coated Gold Nanoshells for Detection of Dry Eye Biomarkers in Human Tears.
Marissa E. Wechsler,H. K. H. Jocelyn Dang,Susana P. Simmonds,Kiana Bahrami,Jordyn M. Wyse,Samuel D. Dahlhauser,James F. Reuther,James F. Reuther,Abigail N. VandeWalle,Eric V. Anslyn,Nicholas A. Peppas +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, anionic hydrogel-coated gold nanoshells (AuNSs) were used in the development of a label-free biosensor for detection of high isoelectric point tear biomarkers associated with dry eye.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mathematical analysis of transport properties of polymer films for food packaging. II. Generalized water vapor models
Nicholas A. Peppas,Rohit Khanna +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the diffusion of water vapor through semipermeable polymer films using Nernst-Planck equations is combined with non-liner water sorption isotherms on food to establish criteria and optimum conditions for storage stability of dehydrated food.
