  • Publication number: 20240316211
    Abstract: Microalgae combined with antibiotic-loaded neutrophil membrane-coated polymeric nanoparticles provide a hybrid microrobot having robust locomotion in the lungs in vivo toward effective treatment of pulmonary and gastrointestinal tract infections. The algae-nanoparticle hybrid microrobots are provided in methods of treatment of disease or conditions by administration for active in vivo delivery of therapeutics to the lungs or gastrointestinal tract. The microrobot system can be applied to treat a wide range of diseases, including viral pneumonia.

  • Publication number: 20220331365
    Abstract: A biomimetic oxygen delivery carrier is provided by employing natural cell membrane as a stabilizer for fluorocarbon nanoemulsions. The resulting formulation exhibits a high capacity for delivering oxygen and can be used to successfully resuscitate subjects in need due to for example hemorrhagic shock. This natural-synthetic platform can alleviate the impact of blood shortages in clinical settings among other uses.

  • Patent number: 7537554
    Abstract: A multi-purpose fitness apparatus. The apparatus includes an extendable base, a height-adjustable weight-supporting frame, a resistance assembly providing adjustable resistance, an exercise mechanism, a detachable bench assembly, and a connecting mechanism connecting the exercise mechanism to the resistance assembly. The resistance assembly includes a supporting frame having a lower resistance support and an upper resistance support that is slidably coupled to the lower resistance support. A top spring-attachment member is mounted on the top end portion of the upper resistance support. A bottom spring-attachment member is moveably coupled to a vertical track member mounted on the lower resistance support. The movement of the bottom spring-attachment member is resisted by resistance from one or more resilient resistance members detachably affixed to the spring-attachment members. The amount of resistance is adjustable by selecting the number of the resistance members affixed.
