Chronic kidney disease

open access: yesSouth African Medical Journal, 2015
It is known that, for many reasons, general practitioners(GPs) find renal disease difficult to diagnose, understandand treat. The terms chronic kidney disease (CKD) andglomerular filtration rate (GFR), representing the renalfunction equation, have been introduced to clarify someof these difficulties.

A Comparison of the Mechanical Properties of ECM Components and Synthetic Self‐Assembling Peptides

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Self‐assembling peptide hydrogels are increasingly utilized in biomedical applications. The authors review the key mechanical properties of these structures across multiple size scales and compare them to that of native extracellular matrix components, which are found to display a much wider range of structural attributes.

Precision Photothermal Therapy at Mild Temperature: NIR‐II Imaging‐Guided, H2O2‐Responsive Stealth Nanobomb

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The new generation nanobomb, termed the stealth nanobomb, is fabricated through self‐assembly using a polymeric carbon monoxide carrier (PLGA(CO)), small molecule near‐infrared‐active agents (2TT‐OC46B), and phospholipid polyethylene glycol (DSPE‐mPEG2000). The stealth nanobomb can circulate in the bloodstream and specifically target pancreatic cancer,
