Targeting drug delivery to hair follicles is valuable treat conditions such as alopecia’s and acne, this shunt route may also allow deeper skin layers the systemic circulation by avoiding intact stratum corneum. Here, we investigated effects of nanoparticle surface chemistry on their into synthesizing fluorescent thiolated silica nanoparticles functionalizing with 750 Da 5000 methoxypolyethylen...

Hybrid metallic nanoparticles encapsulated in oxide shells are currently intensely studied for plasmonic applications sensing, medicine, catalysis, and photovoltaics. Here, we introduce a method the synthesis of Au@Ag@SiO$_2$ cubes with uniform silica shell variable adjustable thickness nanometer range; demonstrate their excellent, highly reproducible, tunable optical response. Varying thicknes...

Nanoparticles are increasingly used to adjuvant vaccine formulations due to their biocompatibility, ease of manufacture and the opportunity to tailor their size, shape, and physicochemical properties. The efficacy of similarly-sized silica (Si-OH), poly (D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and poly caprolactone (PCL) nanoparticles (nps) to adjuvant recombinant capsomere presenting antigenic M2e...
