[Illinois] Dimeric Trigger Responsive Drug Conjugate for High Loading Nanoencapsulates
Online Presentations | 26 Jan 2016 | Contributor(s):: kaimin Cai
Polymeric micelle is one of the most widely used drug delivery nanomedicine platforms; however, micelle drug delivery systems usually have very low drug loading and poorly defined composition, which greatly limited its further clinical translation. In the course of developing trigger responsive...

[Illinois] Stretch Induced Hyperexcitability of Mice Callosal Pathway
Online Presentations | 26 Jan 2016 | Contributor(s):: Anthony Fan
Memory and learning are thought to result from changes in synaptic strength. Previous studies on synaptic physiology in brain slices have traditionally been focused on biochemical processes. Here, we demonstrate with experiments on mouse brain slices that central nervous system plasticity is also...
