Cationic polystyrene nanosphere induces autophagy through inhibition of Akt/mTOR and activation of AMPK signaling pathways in macrophage and epithelial cells

Chiu H-W, Xia T., Tsai J-C, Chen C-W, Wang Y-J, National Cheng Kung University, Medical College, TW

Nanoparticles have been used to produce a wide range of products. Those include applications in imaging and drug delivery in medicine. However, the possible adverse biological effects in human being remain unclear. Autophagy is an [...]

A better biomaterial for bone regeneration: type II collagen

Tsai Y-H, Taipei Medical University, TW

Type II collagen facilitates osteogenesis and suppresses adipogenesis simultaneously during early stage of MSC differentiation, mediated through the same signaling cascades. Type II collagen-coated plates enhanced BMSC mineralization better than did either non-coated or type [...]

Study of protoporphyrin IX-loaded silica hollow spheres for Photodynamic therapy

Tseng G-H, Liu T.Y., National Yang-Ming University of Taiwan, TW

In this study, PpIX was loaded in the shell of silica hollow sphere with the expectation that PpIX-loaded silica hollow spheres (PpIX-SHS) might be employed as a PDT agent with ultrasound image contrast. The PpIX-loaded [...]

Study on the polymeric nanosphere with imaging functionality

Lin M-H, Liu T.Y., Institute of Biomedical Engineering, National Yang-Ming University, Taipei, 112 Taiwan (ROC), TW

The aim of this research was to develop a novel contrast agent with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, fluorescent imaging and drug encapsulation functionalities. The zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles and superparamagnetic iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticleswas prepared [...]
