4D printing on the nanoscale accelerates development of new therapeutics
A research team from the Advanced Science Research Center at City University of New York (CUNY ASRC; USA) and Northwestern University (IL, USA) has designed and created a new 4D printing platform that can recreate the complex patterns on cell surfaces. The research, published in Nature Communications, details technology that combines organic chemistry, surface science and nanolithography to construct intricate nanopatterned surfaces adorned with organic or biological molecules. The surfaces can be developed with different materials and featured molecules, changing the context for its use, meaning that it can be used for a diverse range of applications such as in...
