ENCAPSULATION OF QUANTUM DOTS FOR BIOMEDICAL IMAGING

Feb 26, 2021

+PRECISE +EFFECTIVE Quantum dots are semiconducting particles used in ex-vivo fluorescence biomedical imaging. To consider their in-vivo use, it is necessary to make them more specific (i.e. control their binding to biological ligands) and improve their colloidal...

THERMOREVERSIBLE PARTICLES FOR THE CONTROLLED RELEASE OF MEDICATION

Feb 26, 2021

+EFFECTIVE +PRECISE A thermoreversible compound is sensitive to temperature. A potential application of this property is the localized released of active ingredients to inflammation sites in the body. Coming up with an application of this nature presents a sizeable...
