Protein encapsulation
Basic proteins play important roles in biological activities and disease treatment, but their high sensitivity to the body environment and short life time have limited their applications. Encapsulating the proteins into carriers has been demonstrated to be an effective way to pro...

Dr Huaqiong Li just published a Acta Biomaterialia paper on 4D printing. Congrat…
In this review, the state-of-the-art efforts in integrating the time-dependent behaviour of stimulus-responsive materials in 4D printing will be discussed. In addition, we have demonstrated the significance of 4D printing in biomedical applications, in which “time” has been incor...

Protein capsules
Proteins are considered as one of the most important highly reproducible and monodisperse building blocks with specific functions in life sciences and material science. Protein capsules and their hybrids composed of protein-polymer conjugates have been intensively explored in dru...
