Protein Coronas Derived from Cerebrospinal Fluid Enhance the Interactions Between Nanoparticles and Brain Cells

This study evaluates how protein coronas from cerebrospinal fluid affect nanoparticle interactions with brain cells, finding that CSF-derived coronas enhance these interactions.

A photoswitchable ligand targeting β1-adrenoceptor enables light-control of the cardiac rhythm

This paper develops a photoswitchable ligand for β1-adrenoceptor that enables light-controlled cardiac rhythm management in zebrafish larvae.

On predicting heterogeneity in nanoparticle dosage

This paper develops a stochastic model to predict nanoparticle dosage heterogeneity by accounting for biological processes like cell division and asymmetric inheritance.

Improving water quality does not guarantee fish health: effects of ammonia pollution on the behaviour of wild-caught pre-exposed fish.

This study examines how pre-exposed fish respond to ammonia pollution, finding they show greater behavioural and oxidative stress changes than non-pre-exposed fish.

Isolating the sources of heterogeneity in nanoparticle-cell interactions

This paper presents a mathematical framework to isolate factors causing heterogeneity in nanoparticle-cell interactions and demonstrates three key factors explaining experimental variation.
