Researchers at Northwestern University have discovered that the mechanical properties of layered graphene oxide films can be significantly enhanced by mixing strong, solid graphene oxide flakes with weak, porous graphene oxide flakes. The enhancement of mechanical properties is attributed to the more compliant nature of the soft porous sheets, which act as a binder to improve interlayer packing and load transfer in the multilayer films.
UCLA researchers loaded nanocapsules with the cancer-fighting drug rituximab to create a drug delivery system that breaks through the blood-brain barrier. The approach could be useful not only for cancers that metastasize to the central nervous system but also for primary brain tumors or other brain diseases.

Researchers at the University of Rutgers-New Brunswick have developed a nanotechnology platform that allows researchers to confirm the identity of human stem cell fates and their biomarkers, without destroying these cells in the process. Their discovery could boost research on stem cell transplantation, which may help people with Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, other neurodegenerative diseases, and central nervous system injuries.
