Ulysses: A Voyage Above The Sun’s Poles

The Ulysses perspective

Supramolecular NanoStamping (SuNS)

When a useful device is developed, it always requires a mass-production technique to industrialize it. In the era of nano/biotechnology, the development of printing techniques has not followed the speed of the inventions of novel devices. One of the main challenges is handling at the same time the resolution and the chemical complexity of these nano/biodevices. Here a new stamping technique, Su...

A personal voyage through the proteoglycan field.

The concept of "proteoglycans" as discrete molecules surfaced some 40 years ago, out of previously muddled notions of the extracellular matrix. Core proteins were gradually recognized as molecular entities, distinct with regard to location, substitution with glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains and biological function. This development is surveyed, with brief outline of methodological approaches, bio...

Therapeutics of a Sea Voyage

own personal experience. In recent years its popularity has markedly declined, and it has become a comparatively rare prescription. The principal cause of this is to be found in the altered conditions of ocean travel. Passengers are no longer conveyed to India, America, or Australasia in sailing-ships, which take months of varied experience on the wide seas to reach their destination, but are h...

Nanobiotechnology: A voyage to future?

Nanobiotechnology is an emerging field that is potentially changing the way we treat diseases through drug delivery and tissue engineering. Methods of targeting nanoparticles to specific sites of the body while avoiding capture by vital organs are major hurdles that need to be answered. Whether actual or perceived, the potential health hazards associated with the production, distribution and us...
