Scientists at the University of Sydney are developing a zwitterionic coating, that can be used on medical devices and implants like heart valves and stents to prevent blood clotting. Zwitterions ...

The study was published in Cell Biomaterials. A spiral painted in a Zwitterionic coating is revealed after it is dipped in water with food dye. Image Credit: University of Sydney Zwitterions are a ...

By using Zwitterion coated materials, we aim to decrease the risk of blood clots and increase the lifespan of heart valves and other medical implants,” says Dr Naficy, from the University’s School of ...

On the other strip, the blood has gathered into a dark, wet clot. A swirl, painted in a zwitterionic substance, reveals itself by clinging on to this food-dyed water, demonstrating the water ...

Add-on oral antihistamines or montelukast (Singulair) do not add much benefit. In three separate trials, researchers randomized 3398 adolescent and adult patients with moderate-to-severe SAR ...

University of Sydney researchers have developed a zwitterionic coating which binds with water, creating a watery layer. This is demonstrated here where a heart drawn with the coating is revealed ...
