However, other approaches, such as stem cell delivery, hyperthermia, photodynamic therapy, and the design of multifunctional platforms that combine cancer diagnostics and treatment (theranostics) have not received full attention during the last decade.
We developed a multifunctional nanoporphyrin platform that was coated with a bladder cancer-specific ligand named PLZ4.
These results suggest for the first time that NDs can be used to formulate a biocompatible, thermosensitive and multifunctional hydrogel platform that can function both as a filling agent to modulate hydrogel properties, as well as a delivery platform for the controlled release of bioactive molecules and growth factors.
A multifunctional social platform that allows users to receive rewards in cryptocurrency for social activities related to publication and distribution of their visual content.
The polymer – poly ethylene argininylaspartate diglyceride) – is engineered to self-assemble with naturally occurring heparin, among other polymers, to form a multifunctional drug-delivery platform that works like a bodyguard to protect therapeutic proteins.
What makes me wary in general about these giant, multifunctional platforms is that they have other incentives at play, and we've seen shift their strategies a lot over the last few years alone.
These results support that our multifunctional surface has great potential as an effective platform that accommodates virtually any antibodies, which will likely lead to clinically significant, differential detection of CTCs that are rare and highly heterogeneous.
A platform that allows collaboration.
Made in collaboration with Chicago's Studio Three, the advanced bike boasts a carbon-steel platform that's more stable than its predecessors'; an intuitive magnetic braking system that has been precisely calibrated to respond to user inputs; multifunctional holders that can secure various water-bottle sizes and weights; and a one-of-a-kind split frame that offers increased stability.
