Red blood cell-mimicking nanotechnology. Microparticles being used to mimic red blood cells. The technology used is called PRINT (Particle Replication In Non-wetting Templates). These red blood cell mimics (RBCMs) have the same size, shape, and softness of true RBCs. Researchers are also using PRINT techniques to create nanoparticles for novel cancer treatments. This work was carried out by researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Carolina Center of Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence (CCNE), USA. Image produced in 2013. | |
