Journal ArticleDOI

Robust synthesis of gold cubic nanoframes through a combination of galvanic replacement, gold deposition, and silver dealloying.

TL;DR: The as-prepared Au cubic nanoframes exhibit tunable localized surface plasmon resonance peaks in the near-infrared region, but with much lower Ag content as compared with the initial Au-Ag nanocages.
Journal ArticleDOI

Putting gold nanocages to work for optical imaging, controlled release and cancer theranostics.

TL;DR: A brief account of the synthesis and properties of Au nanocages is begun, and some of the recent developments in applying them to an array of biomedical applications related to optical imaging, controlled release and cancer theranostics are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maßgeschneiderte Nanopartikel für den Wirkstofftransport in der Krebstherapie

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the Nanotechnologie konnte Losungen fur viele Probleme bieten, e.g., a schlechte Wasserloslichkeit, fehlende Tumorspezifitat, nichtspezifische Verteilung, systemische Toxizitat and ein geringer therapeutischer Index.
Journal ArticleDOI

Uniform beads with controllable pore sizes for biomedical applications.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the beads with large pores could provide a more favorable environment for cells and thus be potentially useful for tissue engineering and cell delivery applications.
Journal ArticleDOI

The mechanics of PLGA nanofiber scaffolds with biomimetic gradients in mineral for tendon-to-bone repair.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that the new mineralization protocol has the potential to achieve levels of stiffness adequate to contribute to enhanced repair of tendon-to-bone attachments and testing showed that the stiffness gradient using the new method was significantly steeper.
