Nature Biomedical Engineering
This journal aspires to become the most prominent publishing venue in biomedical engineering by bringing together the most important advances in the discipline, enhancing their visibility, and providing overviews of the state of the art in each field.
Delivery of local anaesthetics by a self-assembled supramolecular system mimicking their interactions with a sodium channel
We designed nanofibers that incorporate the tetrodotoxin binding peptide sequences from the voltage-gated sodium channel. These nanofibers allowed the specific binding and release of tetrodotoxin to achieve prolonged nerve blockade.
Six Years for One Step Towards Unnatural Amino Acid–Controlled Gene Therapy
Stories behind the paper “Restoration of dystrophin expression in mice by suppressing a nonsense mutation through the incorporation of unnatural amino acids” that was recently published in Natural Biomedical Engineering.
Biomaterial vaccines capturing pathogen-associated molecular patterns protect against bacterial infections and septic shock
A new vaccine technology combining capture of bacterial pathogens with effective immune-reprogramming biomaterials could overcome common limitations in infection medicine.
