Cyclodextrin-Modified Zeolites as Drug-Delivery Nanocontainers

Zeolites modified with aminoalkoxysilanes and cyclodextrin show different uptake and release properties depending on which silane is used Multifunctional nanocontainers for imaging, targeting, and drug release are a main research area in bio-nanomedicine. Jurriaan Huskens and colleagues, University of Twente, The Netherlands, have functionalized nanoporous zeolite L crystals with β-cyclodextrin (CD) to give multifunctional systems… Continue reading Cyclodextrin-Modified Zeolites as Drug-Delivery Nanocontainers

STEM CELLS

  Stem cells are undifferentiated biological cells, that can differentiate into specialized cells and can divide (through mitosis) to produce more stem cells. They are found in multicellular organisms. In mammals, there are two broad types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells, which are isolated from the inner cell mass of blastocysts, and adult stem… Continue reading STEM CELLS
