We present a nano-spray therapy for on-the spot-repair of a heart attack. Our sprayable therapy uses nano-engineered peptide-based materials, where nanomolar concentrations of surface engineered spherical nanogold are used to coat the surface of the cardiac muscle...

Poly ethylene glycol PEG hydrogels have been widely studied as biomaterials, exploiting the hydrophilic, non-immunogenic, and non-cytotoxic properties of PEG...

Hospital-acquired infections HAI are a global health concern. Every year, millions of patients are affected...

Bioactive glasses have long been studied as bone replacement materials. Owing to their lower chemical durability, bioactive borate glasses degrade more rapidly and consequently have a quicker conversion rate to bone-like mineral hydroxy-carbonated apatite, HCA when compared to the traditional silicate bioactive glasses 1 ...

Responsive surfaces can be created by coating or directly modifying materials with switchable molecules to optimize the properties at the surface for modulating cell behaviour and protein adsorption1...
