CRISPR/CAS9 SYSTEM: RECENT APPLICATIONS IN IMMUNO-ONCOLOGY AND CANCER IMMUNOTHERAPY



Morphological variations caused by fixation techniques may lead to taxonomic confusion in Laeonereis (Polychaeta: Nereididae)

The nereidid polychaete Laeonereis acuta (Treadwell, 1923) is either considered to be a valid species, or a synonym of Laeonereis culveri (Webster, 1879).The species epithet, acuta, refers to the acuminate anterior region of the body followed by a widening that is visible up to the 10th setiger.The relative width of the anterior region of the body,

Photocracking Silica: Tuning the Plasmonic Photothermal Degradation of Mesoporous Silica Encapsulating Gold Nanoparticles for Cargo Release

The degradation of bionanomaterials is essential for medical applications of nanoformulations, but most inorganic-based delivery agents do not biodegrade at controllable rates.In this contribution, we describe the controllable plasmonic photocracking of gold@silica nanoparticles by tuning the power and wavelength of the laser irradiation, or by tun
