Thermosensitive Cu2O-PNIPAM core-shell nanoreactors with tunable photocatalytic activity [PDF]
We report a facile and novel method for the fabrication of Cu2O@PNIPAM core-shell nanoreactors using Cu2O nanocubes as the core. The PNIPAM shell not only effectively protects the Cu2O nanocubes from oxidation, but also improves the colloidal stability ...

Thermosensitive Fluorescent Liposomes [PDF]
Liposomes are versatile nanomaterials used in a variety of applications such as drug delivery and bioimaging. In this study, three asymmetrical squaraine dyes were synthesized and embedded in liposomes in the efforts to find a suitable dye that can be used for bioimaging procedures involving liposomes.

Local temperature-sensitive mechanisms are important mediators of limb tissue hyperemia in the heat-stressed human at rest and during small muscle mass exercise. [PDF]
Limb tissue and systemic blood flow increases with heat stress, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we tested the hypothesis that heat stress-induced increases in limb tissue perfusion are primarily mediated by local temperature-

Reaction rate of a composite core-shell nanoreactor with multiple, spatially distributed embedded nano-catalysts [PDF]
We present a detailed theory for the total reaction rate constant of a composite core-shell nanoreactor, consisting of a central solid core surrounded by a hydrogel layer of variable thickness, where a given number of small catalytic nanoparticles are ...

In situ forming oxidised hyaluronic acid/adipic acid dihydrazide hydrogel for prevention of epidural fibrosis after laminectomy [PDF]
Post-operative epidural fibrosis is a biological response after laminectomy that may lead to clinical symptoms, such as radicular pain. An ideal material for prevention of epidural fibrosis should be able to inhibit fibroblast adhesions and reduce ...
