Polymer-Nanoparticle Hydrogels Enabling Innovations in Cell and Drug Deliver Eric A. Appel, Associate Professor of Materials Science & Engineering at Stanford University Dynamic biomaterials exhibit highly useful properties that are impossible with traditional materials but crucial for a wide variety of emerging applications in biomedicine. These materials typically employ enthalpy-dominated crosslinking interactions that become weaker ... Read more

Bioinspired soft-matter systems: engineering life-like behaviors Assoc. Prof. Laura Alvarez, Associate Professor at the University of Bordeaux and leads the Soft BioColloids group at the Centre de Recherche Paul Pascal (CRPP, CNRS) Cells, even in their simplest forms, exhibit adaptive motion and task execution, capabilities underpinned by their complex and hierarchized architecture, and their ability ...

Neuronal infra-slow rhythm in the thalamic nucleus reuniens orchestrate hippocampo-prefrontal information flow during sleep Dr Pascale Quilichini, Institut de Neurosciences des Systèmes, INSERM, Aix-Marseille University The consolidation of episodic memory during sleep relies on coordinated interactions between the hippocampus (HPC) and the prefrontal cortex (PFC), although these regions lack direct reciprocal connections. The thalamic nucleus ... Read more
