Nature continually refines its processes for optimal efficiency, especially within biological systems. This article explores the collaborative efforts of researchers worldwide, aiming to mimic nature’s efficiency by developing smarter and more effective nanoscale technologies and biomaterials. Recent advancements highlight progress and prospects in...
Particle tracking (PT) microrheology is a passive microrheological approach that characterizes material properties of soft matter. Multicomponent materials with the ability to create extensive crosslinking, such as supra-assemblies, may exhibit a complex interplay of viscous and elastic properties with a substantial contribution of liquid phase sti...
DNA-templated silver nanoclusters (DNA-AgNCs) are a unique class of bioinorganic nanomaterials. The optical properties and biological activities of DNA-AgNCs are readily modulated by the minor adjustments in the sequence or structure of the templating oligonucleotide. Excitation-emission matrix spectroscopy (EEMS) enables the fluorescence of compou...
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are increasingly considered for biomedical applications as drug-delivery carriers, imaging probes and antibacterial agents. Silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) represent another subclass of nanoscale silver. AgNCs are a promising tool for nanomedicine due to their small size, structural homogeneity, antibacterial activity and f...
Silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) are the next-generation nanomaterials representing supra-atomic structures where silver atoms are organized in a particular geometry. DNA can effectively template and stabilize these novel fluorescent AgNCs. Only a few atoms in size - the properties of nanoclusters can be tuned using only single nucleobase replacement of...
The immune system has evolved to defend organisms against exogenous threats such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites by distinguishing between “self” and “non-self”. In addition, it guards us against other diseases, such as cancer, by detecting and responding to transformed and senescent cells. However, for survival and propagation, the alte...
