Where did carbon nanotubes go? Were they just hype? No! They’re in your lithium ion batteries and more! “Industrial Adoption of Carbon Nanotubes” - Nano Letters - Open access! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Congratulations to former lab members Chen Chen, @anamarieperea.bsky.social, and colleagues who found that nanoparticles can take advantage of the lysosome to sequester drugs to control/prolong their release into the cell and increase anti-tumor efficacy! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Image showing nanoparticles sequestering drugs in the lysosome for an extended period, as compared to the free drug which diffuses freely out of compartments/cells.
