A vast majority of alginate particles exist as spheres in most practical uses, and both the
particle shape and size are the key factors dominating the applications and performance of …

Recent advances in experimental techniques to synthesise particles with non-convex
shapes have provided new challenges and opportunities to the modelling community. The …

The exploitation of wild fisheries has driven the seafood industry to develop more
sustainable resources and high‐intensity aquaculture. However, high‐density aquaculture is …

Chitosan/hyaluronic acid (HA) nanoparticles can be used to deliver an RNA/DNA cargo to
cells overexpressing HA receptors such as CD44. For these systems, unequivocal links …

Effective integration of molecular self‐assembly and additive manufacturing would provide a
technological leap in bioprinting. This article reports on a biofabrication system based on the …

The natural turnover of free hyaluronic acid (HA) is predominantly based on its CD44-
mediated internalisation in leukocytes. In a phagocytic cell model (RAW 264.7 murine …

Chitosan nanoparticles are popular carriers for the delivery of macromolecular payloads, eg
nucleic acids. In this study, nanoparticles were prepared via complexation with triphosphate …

Topology, the study of properties that are invariant under continuous transformations, in
which the number of pores (genus) is a profound concept that determines a number of …

A vortex ring is a torus-shaped fluidic vortex. During its formation, the fluid experiences a rich
variety of intriguing geometrical intermediates from spherical to toroidal. Here we show that …

Islet encapsulation and transplantation promises to improve upon current treatments for type
1 diabetes mellitus, though several limitations remain. Macroscale devices have been …
