Research performed in the laboratory of Professor Martin Yarmush on the use of nanoporous gold to deliver drugs that can modulate cellular responses was featured on the March 2012 cover of Advanced Healthcare Materials. The goal of this work is to ultimately produce indwelling electrodes composed of drug-loaded nanoporous gold which can reduce the fibrotic reaction that frequently accompanies implantation. The paper`s results clearly demonstrated that drug release from nanoporous gold coatings could significantly reduce cellular proliferation. The full paper describing this innovative work can be found in Advanced Healthcare Materials Volume 1, Pages 172-176 (2012).
