TL;DR: It is shown that Stromal-cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) is sufficient to induce therapeutic stem-cell homing to injured myocardium and suggested a strategy for directed stem- cell engraftment into injured tissues.

TL;DR: In this paper, a red quantum-dot light-emitting diodes with an external quantum efficiency of 18, close to the theoretical maximum of 20%, were reported, using a layer of zinc oxide nanocrystals providing highly effective electron transport.

TL;DR: In vivo circulationHalf-life and intratumoral diffusion measurements indicate that the multistage nanoparticles exhibited both the long circulation half-life necessary for the EPR effect and the deep tumor penetration required for delivery into the tumor's dense collagen matrix.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that repairing the abnormal vessels in mammary tumours, by blocking vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2, improves the delivery of smaller nanoparticles (diameter, 12 nm) while hindering delivery of larger nanoparticles, and further suggest that smaller (∼12 nm) nanomedicines are ideal for cancer therapy due to their superior tumour penetration.

TL;DR: Results show that cationic AlQ3 species are unstable and that their degradation products are fluorescence quenchers, explaining the success of different approaches to stabilizing OLEDs, such as doping of the hole transport layer, introducing a buffer layer at the hole-injecting contact, and using mixed emitting layers of hole and electron transporting molecules.
