Acting as white blood cell decoys, " nanosponges " alleviate and prevent rheumatoid arthritis in mouse
Engineers at the University of California, San Diego, have developed "nanosponges" that can safely absorb and neutralize a variety of proteins that play a role in the progression of rheumatoid arthritis. Injections of these nanosponges effectively treated severe rheumatoid arthritis in two mouse ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item. (Source: NSF Multimedia Gallery)

Turning immunity on and off
NIH Director ’ s Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
Dr. Hubbell uses biomaterials and protein engineering approaches to investigate topics in regenerative medicine and immunotherapeutics. In regenerative medicine, he focuses on biomaterial matrices that mimic the extracellular matrix and on growth factor - extracellular matrix interactions, working in a variety of animal models of regenerative medicine. In immunotherapeutics, he focuses on nanomaterials in vaccines that target lymphoid-resident antigen presenting cells and on protein engineering approaches to deliver antigen to the spleen and liver for inverse vaccines t...

Uncovering why nanomaterial loses superconductivity
An illustration that describes Adrian Del Maestro's, associate professor at the University of Vermont, pair-breaking critical theory in nanowires. Electrons inside an ultra-thin MoGe wire with a radius on the order of 10 nanometers can pair up at low temperatures (green) and travel from one contact ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item.

A porous polymer coating whitens surfaces without using white pigments, helping to cool air temperat
Columbia engineers have made white paint whiter -- and cooler -- by removing white pigment, and have invented a polymer coating, with nano-to-microscale air voids, that acts as a spontaneous air cooler and can be fabricated, dyed and applied like paint. Research in Arizona showed that the coating ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item. (Source: NSF Multimedia Gallery)
