Colloidal self-assembly refers to a solution-processed assembly of nanometer-/micrometer-
sized, well-dispersed particles into secondary structures, whose collective properties are …

Cells are crowded, but proteins are almost always studied in dilute aqueous buffer. We
review the experimental evidence that crowding affects the equilibrium thermodynamics of …

Proteins and nucleic acids can phase-separate in the cell to form concentrated biomolecular
condensates,,–. The functions of condensates span many length scales: they modulate …

Self-assembly of various building blocks has been considered as a powerful approach to
generate novel materials with tailorable structures and optimal properties. Understanding …

Lysosomes have become an important target for anticancer therapeutics because lysosomal
cell death bypasses the classical caspase-dependent apoptosis pathway, enabling the …

This chapter highlights the synthetic aspects that generally remain in the shadows in order to
provide the scientific community with a user-friendly guide for the production of gold …

In this study, cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) were used to induce depletion stabilization of oil-in-
water Pickering emulsions formed by interfacial adsorption of another type of nanocellulose …

Although dynamic self-assembly, DySA, is a relatively new area of research, the past
decade has brought numerous demonstrations of how various types of components–on …

Graphite oxide sheets, now called graphene oxide (GO), can be made from chemical
exfoliation of graphite by reactions that have been known for 150 years. Because GO is a …

Roughly at the time (1987) when the manuscript for the first three chapters of the present
book was completed, several breakthroughs occurred. They had a profound influence on the …
