Films for controlled drug release are systems that allow the prolonged and sustainable release of the therapeutic principle into the tissue to be treated. This research aims to develop polyvinyl ...

The release of nanoplastics (NPs) in the environment is a significant health concern for long-term exposed humans. Although their usage has certainly revolutionized several application fields, at ...

Filamentous actin (F-actin) and vimentin intermediate filaments (VIFs) are two major cytoskeletal components; they are generally thought to be spatially compartmentalized and to have distinctly ...

Kainate receptors (KARs) are L-glutamate-gated ion channels that regulate synaptic transmission and modulate neuronal circuits. KARs have strict assembly rules and primarily function as heteromeric ...

Tissue engineering, based on a combination of 3D printing, biomaterials blending and stem cell technology, offers the potential to establish customized, transplantable autologous implants using a ...

Control of cell size is fundamentally different in animals and plants. The actin cytoskeleton has a direct impact on the control of cell size in animals, but its mechanistic contribution to cellular ...
