Polydiacetylene (PDA) Langmuir films are well known for their blue to red chromatic transitions in response to a variety of stimuli, including UV light, heat, bio-molecule bindings and mechanical stress. In this work, we detail the ability to tune PDA Langmuir films to exhibit discrete chromatic transitions in response to applied mechanical stress....

A novel localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) system based on the coupling of gold nanomushrooms (AuNMs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is developed to enable a significant plasmonic resonant shift. The AuNP size, surface chemistry, and concentration are characterized to maximize the LSPR effect. A 31 nm redshift is achieved when the AuNMs are...

Near-infrared (NIR) photothermal therapy by microneedles (MNs) exhibits high potential against skin diseases. However, high costs, photobleaching of organic agents, low long-term stability, and potential nanotoxicity limit the clinical translation of photothermal MNs. Here, photothermal MNs are developed by utilizing Au nanoaggregates made by flame...

For individuals who have experienced tooth loss, dental implants are an important treatment option for oral reconstruction. For these patients, alveolar bone augmentation and acceleration of osseointegration optimize implant stability. Traditional oral surgery often requires invasive procedures, which can result in prolonged treatment time and asso...

How the liver's extracellular matrix (ECM) protein composition and stiffness cooperatively regulate primary human hepatocyte (PHH) phenotype is unelucidated. Here, we utilize protein microarrays and high content imaging with single-cell resolution to assess PHH attachment/functions on 10 major liver ECM proteins in single and two-way combinations r...

How nanoparticle (NP) mechanical properties impact multivalent ligand–receptor-mediated binding to cell surfaces, the avidity, propensity for internalization, and effects due to crowding remains unknown or unquantified. Through computational analyses, the effects of NP composition from soft, deformable NPs to rigid spheres, effect of tethers, the c...
