Bionanotechnology and bionanomaterials: John Honek explains the good things that can come in very small packages

Good things come in small packages

Current ovarian cancer treatments based on surgery/chemotherapy show limited efficacy. Targeting immunosuppression is a requirement for the effectiveness of novel promising anti-tumor immunotherapies. Our latest work in preclinical models shows that nanoparticle-mediated delivery of immunostimulatory microRNAs specifically to tumor-associated leukocytes is sufficient to re-program immunological...

Stubby stems: good things come in small packages.

Standard-length porous-coated tapered femoral stems perform exceedingly well in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) at long-term follow-up. Nevertheless, there are multiple reasons to strongly consider the relatively new concept of short tapered stems. First, there is already a wide variation in the lengths of "standard" components and the ideal length is unknown. The goal of tapered stems is ...

Big things come in small packages

#Microposts2015, the 5th workshop on Making Sense of Microposts, is summarised by the sub-theme: big things come in small packages. The workshop was borne out of research we were each carrying out as microblogging platforms became increasingly popular, and their value as a publishing platform and the data generated as a result began to be recognised. This phenomenon continues to grow, as microb...

Phase-Conversion Nanoparticle Contrast Agents: Do Good Things Come in Small Packages?

Good things come in little packages: An introduction to writing .ins and .dtx files

LATEX packages made available from CTAN are commonly distributed as a pair of files: 〈something〉.ins and 〈something〉.dtx. The user is then instructed to run the .ins file through latex to produce the actual package files. What are these .ins and .dtx files? How do you, as a class or style-file writer, create your own? And, why would you want to? This article answers those questions and elucidat...
