DNA nanostructures as scaffolds for metal nanoparticles
The rapid development of DNA nanotechnology has enabled the precise bottom-up integration of metal nanoparticles (NPs) on a nanometer scale. The recent introduction of the DNA origami technique has facilitated...

Instant preparation of a biodegradable injectable polymer formulation exhibiting a temperature-responsive sol–gel transition
We developed a very quick and convenient preparative method for an injectable polymer (IP) formulation to overcome solubility problems of IPs. We investigated the effects of various additives on the dispersion...

Encapsulation of a gold nanoparticle in a DNA origami container
A ‘box-shaped’ three-dimensional (3D) DNA origami of ~40-nm dimensions was selectively formed by closing a symmetric open motif with three orthogonal faces. This 3D DNA origami was used as an intelligent nano-...

Analysis of the sol-to-gel transition behavior of temperature-responsive injectable polymer systems by fluorescence resonance energy transfer
Amphiphilic triblock copolymers of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and aliphatic polyesters such as poly(ɛ-caprolactone-co-glycolide) (PCGA) are typical examples of thermogelling polymers. In the gelation mechanis...

Open AccessLoss of multipotency in adipose-derived stem cells after culture in temperature-responsive injectable polymer hydrogels
Adipose-derived stem cells (AdSCs), a type of mesenchymal stem cell, are expected to be applicable to regenerative medicine and cellular delivery systems. The maintenance of cell multipotency and control of th...
