Bioabsorbable Endovascular Adhesive Tape (BEAT) for Improving Vascular Regeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A bioabsorbable endovascular adhesive tape (BEAT) platform based on a hierarchical polyelectrolyte complex is developed to enhance drug delivery in the DCB system. The coating enables rapid transfer to the vessel, provides short‐term mechanical support, and promotes both immediate transfer and long‐term retention of drugs at the lesion site.

Designing Scalable Mechano‐Virucidal Nanostructured Acrylic Surfaces for Enhanced Viral Inactivation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Can a surface be designed to physically break viruses? This study explores how nanoscale geometry—specifically the spacing of tiny pillars—can determine whether viruses remain intact or rupture. Using flexible acrylic and a scalable fabrication process, the authors develop nanopillared, transparent surfaces that show strong antiviral activity without ...

Geldpolitik und Zinsbildung unter besonderer Berücksichtingung der Gegenwärtigen Situation

open access: yesEesti Majanduspoliitilised Väitlused, 2017
At present the ECB is striving, through its so-called zero interest rate policy, to avoid deflationary developments because, as past experience shows, a further price decay would be expected to lead to bankruptcies and be a strain on the real economy ...
