Pluronics and MDR Reversal: An Update
Molecular Pharmaceutics, 2014 Multidrug resistance (MDR) remains one of the biggest obstacles for effective cancer therapy. Currently there are only few methods that are available clinically that are used to bypass MDR with very limited success. In this review we describe how MDR can be overcome by a simple yet effective approach of using amphiphilic block copolymers.

DNA‐Origami‐Assembled Rhodium Nanoantennas for Deep‐UV Label‐Free Single‐Protein Detection
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Deep‐UV autofluorescence of single proteins in DNA origami‐based rhodium nanoantennas. Precisely positioned within the plasmonic nanogap, proteins retain their native state while their intrinsic emission is strongly amplified, enabling label‐free single‐molecule detection and opening new opportunities for highly sensitive and specific biosensing ...
