Mechanically tunable, self-adjuvanting nanoengineered polypeptide particles.
DNA-loaded polypeptide particles are prepared via templated assembly of mesoporous silica for the delivery of adjuvants. The elasticity and cargo-loading capacity of the obtained particles can be tuned by the amount of cross-linker used to stabilize the polypeptide particles. The use of polypeptide particles as biocarriers provides a promising method for vaccine delivery.
متن کاملMechanically Tunable Photonic Crystals
The next frontier in photonic crystal research may be to achieve dynamic tunability that allows real-time, on-demand control of the photonic band structure. Recently, researchers have been working on a new strategy for achieving this goal—by applying mechanical force. This approach can produce much greater tunability than is possible with electro-optic materials and may greatly expand the usefu...
متن کاملMechanically tunable photonic crystal structure
We report a tunable nanophotonic device concept based on flexible photonic crystal, which is comprised of a periodic array of high-index dielectric material and a low-index flexible polymer. Tunability is achieved by applying mechanical force with nano-/microelectromechanical system actuators. The mechanical stress induces changes in the periodicity of the photonic crystal and consequently modi...
متن کاملSynthetic self-adjuvanting glycopeptide cancer vaccines
Due to changes in glycosyltransferase expression during oncogenesis, the glycoproteins of cancer cells often carry highly truncated carbohydrate chains compared to those on healthy cells. These glycans are known as tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens (TACAs), and are prime targets for use in vaccines for the prevention and treatment of cancer. Herein, we review the state-of-the-art in target...
متن کاملMechanically-Tunable Composite Filter at Low Frequencies
Previous studies into the possibility of a plasmonic medium of a coiled conductor array in air have shown promise. This work serves to evaluate the possibility of creating a mechanically-tunable composite filter at low frequencies. Copper springs were created with varying starting pitches using a coil winder. These springs were then embedded into a flexible host polymer. The mechanical and elec...
