Ti and Ti-based alloys have unique properties such as high strength, low density and
excellent corrosion resistance. These properties are essential for the manufacture of …

While the blood vessel is seldom the target tissue, almost all nanomedicine will interact with
blood vessels and blood at some point of time along its life cycle in the human body …

Hydroxyapatite (HA) has been widely applied in bone repair because of its superior
biocompatibility. Recently, a proliferation-suppressive effect of HA nanoparticles (n-HA) …

Calcium phosphate is applied in many products in biomedicine, but also in toothpastes and
cosmetics. In some cases, it is present in nanoparticulate form, either on purpose or after …

Nanoparticles have opened a new perspective for oral drug delivery. However, nanoparticle
transport is strongly hindered by mucus and epithelial barriers before they can enter the …

Like the proposal of nanotechnology by Richard Feynman, the nanoarchitectonics concept
was initially proposed by Masakazu Aono. The nanoarchitectonics strategy conceptually …

Ultrasmall metal nanoclusters (NCs) have attracted increasing attention due to their
fascinating physicochemical properties. Today, functional metal NCs are finding growing …

The whitening and opacifying properties of titanium dioxide (TiO2) are commonly exploited
when it is used as a food additive (E171). However, the safety of this additive can be …

In nanomedicine design, emphasis is centered on the engineered impacts of the
nanomaterials (NMs). However, failure to understand the unintended effects of …

Background The balance between oxidation and anti-oxidation is believed to be critical in
maintaining healthy biological systems. However, our endogenous antioxidant defense …
