Catalytically Active Nanomaterials: Artificial Enzymes of Next Generation

Natural enzymes are extremely specific and efficient biocatalysts, facilitating almost every biochemical process in living organisms with rapid rate (1019 times) of reaction [1]. Although the location and function of natural enzymes are well orchestrated, their practical utility is often compromised by some of their intrinsic hitches. These drawbacks could be the high cost of production, purifi...

Impact of newly developed, next-generation artificial endocrine pancreas.

BACKGROUND Recent studies have shown that strict perioperative blood glucose management may reduce mortality and morbidity in critically ill adult patients. The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy and efficacy of the intraoperative application of a newly developed, next-generation artificial endocrine pancreas (STG-55, Nikkiso Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan). METHODS Twenty patients sch...

Biomaterials meet microfluidics: building the next generation of artificial niches.

Biomaterials are increasingly being developed as in vitro microenvironments mimicking in vivo stem cell niches. However, current macroscale methodologies to produce these niche models fail to recapitulate the spatial and temporal characteristics of the complex native stem cell regulatory systems. Microfluidic technology offers unprecedented control over the spatial and temporal display of biolo...

Inspiration for the Next Generation of Artificial Immune Systems

In this conceptual paper, we consider the state of artificial immune system (AIS) design today, and the nature of the immune theories on which they are based. We highlight the disagreement amongst many immunologists regarding the concept of self–non-self discriminations in the immune system, and go on describe on such model that removes altogether the requirement for self–non-self discriminatio...
