Ionic liquids as a class of materials for transdermal delivery and pathogen neutralization
Michael Zakrewsky,Katherine S. Lovejoy,Theresa L. Kern,Tarryn E. Miller,Vivian Le,Amber Nagy,Andrew M. Goumas,Rashi Iyer,Rico E. Del Sesto,Andrew T. Koppisch,David T. Fox,Samir Mitragotri +11 more
TL;DR: This work establishes the use of ILs for simultaneous enhancement of topical drug delivery and antibiotic activity, and choline-geranate emerged as a multipurpose IL with excellent antimicrobial activity, minimal toxicity to epithelial cells as well as skin, and effective permeation enhancement for drug delivery.

Comprehensive analysis of the effects of CdSe quantum dot size, surface charge, and functionalization on primary human lung cells.
TL;DR: QD charge and ligand length, and to a lesser extent, size, are key factors that should be considered when engineering nanomaterials with minimal bioimpact (charge > functionalization > size).

TL;DR: The results indicate that cytotoxic assays must be supplemented with genotoxic analyses to better understand cellular responses and the full impact of nanoparticle exposure when making recommendations with regard to risk assessment.
Quantifying engineered nanomaterial toxicity: comparison of common cytotoxicity and gene expression measurements.

TL;DR: This study can serve as a model for comparing traditional cytotoxicity assays and gene expression measurements and to determine candidate biomarkers for assessing the biocompatibility of ENMs.
Neutron reflectometry characterization of PEI–PSS polyelectrolyte multilayers for cell culture
TL;DR: In this paper, the thickness of polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) films made by layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition of a strong polycation (polyethylene imine [PEI]) and a polyanion (polystyrene sulfonate [PSS]) have been characterized.
