Read More »Our collaboration work on long-lived phosphorescence of silica nanoparticles with Profs. Woosung Kwon (Sookmyung Women’s University) and Kyeonghak Kim (Hanyang University) has been published in Chemical Engineering Journal. This work reports a use of defect-engineered silica nanoparticle that presents room-temperature phosphorescence with extended lifetime up to a few milliseconds-scale. Such a long lifetime allows tissue […]

Read More »Our collaborative study with Prof. Tae-Eun Park on brain delivery systems for treatment of Alzheimer’s disease has been published in ACS Nano. In this study, we have utilized the microphysiological systems (MPS) mimicking human blood-brain barrier on a chip to discover BBB-penetrating aptamers. The MPS-derived aptamers showed remarkable BBB penetration efficiency, led by clathrin-mediated transcytosis. […]
