Thrombosis is the major stumbling block to the clinical application of blood-contacting
devices. Herein, a quick and easy surface engineering strategy of hydrogel coating with the …

The topoisomerase I inhibitor, 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN38), has demonstrated
potent anticancer activity. However, its clinical application is hindered by its low solubility …

Extracorporeal circulation (ECC) catheters have potential to be blood compatible and could
be used to prevent thrombotic occlusion. Here, we produced heparin-mimicking …

Bioresorbable stents (BRSs) offer significant advantages in treating congenital heart disease
(CHD)-related vascular stenoses, especially for pediatric patients. However, the insufficient …

The increasing population demands materials with higher expectations associated to quality
of life cropping up from an aging population. Recently there has been an ever-increasing …

Combining diagnostics and therapy is one of the most difficult, yet promising, techniques
envisioned for nanoengineered multifunctional systems in nanomedicine (theragnostic) …
