• Chitosan hydrogel micro-bio-devices with complex capillary patterns via reactive-diffusive self-assembly 

    Adibnia, Vahid; Mirbagheri, Marziye; Latreille, Pierre-Luc; Faivre, Jimmy; Cécyre, Bruno; Bouchard, Jean-François; Martinez, Vincent A.; Delair, Thierry; David, Laurent; Hwang, Dae Kun; Banquy, Xavier (Elsevier, 2019-08-29)
    We present chitosan hydrogel microfluidic devices with self-assembled complex microcapillary patterns, conveniently formed by a diffusion-reaction process. These patterns in chitosan hydrogels are formed by a single-step procedure involving diffusion ...
  • Coiled-coil affinity-based system for the controlled release of biofunctionalized gold nanoparticles from alginate hydrogels 

    Roth, Audrey; Murschel, Frederic; Latreille, Pierre-Luc; Martinez, Vincent A.; Liberelle, Benoît; Banquy, Xavier; De Crescenzo, Gregory (American Chemical Society, 2019-04-05)
    Affinity-based systems represent a promising solution to control the delivery of therapeutics using hydrogels. Here, we report a hybrid system that is based on the peptidic E/K coiled coil affinity pair to mediate the release of gold nanoparticles (NPs) ...
  • Deep tissue penetration of bottle-brush polymers via cell capture evasion and fast diffusion 

    Rabanel, Jean-Michel; Mirbagheri, Marziye; Olszewski, Mateusz; Xie, Guojun; Le Goas, Marine; Latreille, Pierre-Luc; Counil, Hermine; Hervé, Vincent; Oliveira Silva, Rummenigge; Zaouter, Charlotte; Adibnia, Vahid; Acevedo, Mariana; Servant, Marc; Martinez, Vincent A.; Patten, Shunmoogum A.; Matyjaszewski, Krzysztof; Ramassamy, Charles; Banquy, Xavier (American Chemical Society, 2022-12-14)
    Drug nanocarriers (NCs) capable of crossing the vascular endothelium and deeply penetrating into dense tissues of the CNS could potentially transform the management of neurological diseases. In the present study, we investigated the interaction of ...
