Nanomaterials, particularly nanofibers, are the subject of intense studies because of their potential uses in medicine, electronics, and catalysis 1,2,3. Indeed, nanofibers serve as architectural ...

A team of researchers from Singapore has reported the development of a skin-mimicking scaffold by parallelly aligning nanofibers made up of a mixture of polycaprolactone (PCL) and gelatin that ...

Malignant glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), with an aggressive growth pattern and unpredictable tumor location within the brain, causes a deadly disease with an extremely poor prognosis. Laminin, a ...

A novel engineering process can deliver a safe and effective dose of medicine for brain tumors without exposing patients to toxic side effects from traditional chemotherapy. University of Cincinnati ...

Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a simple, scalable way to align gold nanorods, particles with optical properties that could be used for emerging biomedical imaging ...

When you visit Andrew Steckl's lab at the University of Cincinnati, you see a nondescript glass box that weaves together different fibers. He sees endless possibility. Steckl's lab is coming up with ...

Scientist are developing new applications for a fabrication process called coaxial electrospinning, which combines two or more materials into a fine fiber for use in industry, textiles or even ...

Researchers have developed a new treatment for glioblastoma multiforme, an aggressive form of brain cancer. A novel engineering process can deliver a safe and effective dose of medicine for brain ...
