The Green Lean Amine Machine : Harvesting Electric Power While Capturing Carbon Dioxide from Breath

Kalkus, Trevor J. ; Guha, Anirvan ; Scholten, Philip B. V. ; Nagornii, Dimitrii ; Coskun, Ali ; Ianiro, Alessandro ; Mayer, Michael

In: Advanced Science, 2021, p. 2100995

As wearable technologies redefine the way people exchange information, receive entertainment, and monitor health, the development of sustainable power sources that capture energy from the user's everyday activities garners increasing interest. Electric fishes, such as the electric eel and the torpedo ray, provide inspiration for such a power source with their ability to generate massive...

New approach for time-resolved and dynamic investigations on nanoparticles agglomeration

Anaraki, Neda Iranpour ; Sadeghpour, Amin ; Iranshahi, Kamran ; Toncelli, Claudio ; Cendrowska, Urszula ; Stellacci, Francesco ; Dommann, Alex ; Wick, Peter ; Neels, Antonia

In: Nano Research, 2020, vol. 13, no. 10, p. 2847–2856

Nanoparticle (NP) colloidal stability plays a crucial role in biomedical application not only for human and environmental safety but also for NP efficiency and functionality. NP agglomeration is considered as a possible process in monodispersed NP colloidal solutions, which drastically affects colloidal stability. This process is triggered by changes in the physicochemical properties of the...

Innovative preclinical models for pulmonary drug delivery research

Ehrmann, Stephan ; Schmid, Otmar ; Darquenne, Chantal ; Rothen-Rutishauser, Barbara ; Sznitman, Josue ; Yang, Lin ; Barosova, Hana ; Vecellio, Laurent ; Mitchell, Jolyon ; Heuze-Vourc’h, Nathalie

In: Expert Opinion on Drug Delivery, 2020, vol. 17, no. 4, p. 463–478

Introduction: Pulmonary drug delivery is a complex field of research combining physics which drive aerosol transport and deposition and biology which underpins efficacy and toxicity of inhaled drugs. A myriad of preclinical methods, ranging from in- silico to in-vitro, ex–vivo and in-vivo, can be implemented.Areas covered: The present review covers in-silico mathematical and computational...

Carbon‐assisted stable silver nanostructures

Abdollahi, S. Narjes ; Ochoa Martínez, Efraín ; Kilchoer, Cédric ; Kremer, Geoffroy ; Jaouen, Thomas ; Aebi, Philipp ; Hellmann, Tim ; Mayer, Thomas ; Gu, Yibei ; Wiesner, Ulrich B. ; Steiner, Ullrich ; Wilts, Bodo D. ; Gunkel, Ilja

In: Advanced Materials Interfaces, 2020, vol. 7, no. 23, p. 2001227

Nanostructured silver stands out among other plasmonic materials because its optical losses are the lowest of all metals. However, nanostructured silver rapidly degrades under ambient conditions, preventing its direct use in most plasmonic applications. Here, a facile and robust method for the preparation of highly stable nanostructured silver morphologies is introduced. 3D nanostructured...

Shear stress-responsive polymersome nanoreactors inspired by the marine bioluminescence of dinoflagellates

Rifaie‐Graham, Omar ; Galensowske, Nikolas F. B. ; Dean, Charlie ; Pollard, Jonas ; Balog, Sandor ; Gouveia, Micael G. ; Chami, Mohamed ; Vian, Antoine ; Amstad, Esther ; Lattuada, Marco ; Bruns, Nico

In: Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2020, vol. 60, no. 2, p. 904-909

Some marine plankton called dinoflagellates emit light in response to the movement of surrounding water, resulting in a phenomenon called milky seas or sea sparkle. The underlying concept, a shear-stress induced permeabilisation of biocatalytic reaction compartments, is transferred to polymer-based nanoreactors. Amphiphilic block copolymers that carry nucleobases in their hydrophobic block...

Increased uptake of silica nanoparticles in inflamed macrophages but not upon co-exposure to micron-sized particles

Susnik, Eva ; Taladriz-Blanco, Patricia ; Drasler, Barbara ; Balog, Sandor ; Petri-Fink, Alke ; Rothen-Rutishauser, Barbara

In: Cells, 2020, vol. 9, no. 9, p. 2099

Silica nanoparticles (NPs) are widely used in various industrial and biomedical applications. Little is known about the cellular uptake of co-exposed silica particles, as can be expected in our daily life. In addition, an inflamed microenvironment might affect a NP’s uptake and a cell’s physiological response. Herein, prestimulated mouse J774A.1 macrophages with bacterial...
