Nanovehicles for targeted bone metastasis chemotherapy
The cover story for the July 2014 issue of Biomaterials Science highlights the use of nanovehicle particles for the targeted delivery of chemotherapy drugs to tumor cells in bone. Bone metastasis, or the spreading of tumor cells from the initial tumor site to bone tissue, marks the stage of cancer progression where the diseased is […]
High throughput evaluation of surfaces for stem cell culture
This study identifies new surfaces optimized for human pluripotent stem cell expansion using a high-throughput polymer microarray chip. The biomaterials community is moving toward using high-throughput tools to evaluate cell-material interactions at an unprecedented rate. For instance, polymer microarrays have become popular for identifying candidate surfaces that elicit a desired biological response. Using a single […]
