Gold nanostars (AuNSs) have achieved special relevance for potential biomedical applications, e.g., in theranostics. In relation to this, some authors explored controlling the conditions that trigger structural and morphological changes these structures. this work, we studied can of AuNSs or maintain their stability, such as ligand exchange nonthiolated thiolated species. First, synthesis stabilizing AuNS, 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazinapropanesulfonic acid (EPPS), was exchanged species...
Microgels are versatile materials with applications across biomedicine, science, and beyond. Their controllable size composition enables tailoring specific properties, yet characterizing their internal structures on the nanoscale remains challenging. Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy (SRFM) effectively analyzes sub-μm structures, including microgels, offering a tool for investigating more complex systems such as core-shell microgels. Understanding structure, in particular...
DNA-microgel hybrid systems with dual thermal responsiveness are suited for programmed and reversible uptake release of molecular nanoparticulate guest compounds in biological environments.
DNA functionalized pNipmam microgels, which have recently been introduced, are examined at different concentrations of sodium chloride and in PBS solutions
