Widely used medical diagnostic devices and assays that sense the presence of a particular
molecule in a bodily fluid often rely on either a nanoparticle label or an enzymatic reaction to …

Resolving the distribution of specific proteins at the nanoscale in the ultrastructural context of
the cell is a major challenge in fluorescence microscopy. We report the discovery of a new …

Polymerization catalysts that activate in response to specific chemical triggers offer spatial
and temporal control over polymer synthesis, facilitating the development of responsive …

The research community is intent on harnessing increasingly complex biological building
blocks. At present, cells represent a highly functional component for integration into higher …

PEG hydrogels are routinely used in immunoprotection applications to hide foreign cells
from a host immune system. Size-dependent transport is typically exploited in these systems …

Targeted photopolymerization is the basis for multiple diagnostic and cell encapsulation
technologies. While eosin is used in conjunction with tertiary amines as a water-soluble …

Glomerular endothelial cell (GEC) injury plays an important role in the early stage of diabetic
nephropathy (DN). Previous studies show that a PKCβ inhibitor is effective for treating DN. In …

Modification of cell surfaces with synthetic polymers is a promising approach for regulating
cellular behavior. Here, we describe a genetically controlled strategy for selectively …

Cell-based therapies are emerging as the next frontier of medicine, offering a plausible path
forward in the treatment of many devastating diseases. Critically, current methods for antigen …

We report a systematic investigation of a set of photoreducible macrophotoinitiators for use
in polymerization-based signal amplification. To test the dependence of photopolymerization …
