Thus, this timely review aims to fill this gap by exploring the fundamental characteristics of chiral nanomaterials, including their chiroptical activities and analytical techniques. Also, the recent advancements in incorporating these materials in tissue engineering applications are highlighted. The review ...
For chiral plasmonic nanomaterials, as shown in Fig.2c, the resonant plasmonic coupling between individual nanoscale building blocks results in the appearance of bisignated CD signals in the spectral region of plasmon resonances, which is also known as exciton coupled circular dichroism (ECD)105. Fo...
Chirality has a key role in the synthesis of biomolecules and the development of life. Although the effects of many chiral molecules or materials on biological processes have been studied for over 150 years, research aimed at understanding the relationship between the intrinsic chirality of engineered...
Chiral nanomaterials are well-known for their excellent chiroptical and chirality-dependent characteristics [32]. These properties have facilitated their widespread use in tissue engineering [33,34,35]. For example, Shi et al. showed that chiral nanoparticles had a therapeutic effect on Alzheimer’s ...

The controlled and noninvasive retrieval of cells from responsive substrates is crucial in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering60,61. Compared with conventional procedures, such as digestive enzymes, that might irreversibly damage the cells, irradiation with light to trigger cell detachment has cap...
In recent years, scientists have paid more and more attention to the great effect of surface modifications on the stability and biocompatibility of nanomaterials32. Remarkably, recent studies have highlighted the significant impact of ligand chirality in nanoparticles on biological responses to exogenous ...
Carbon nanomaterials in general are considered to be environmentally friendly, and their precursors are common and rather abundant, so they can be produced at a low cost25. Fluorescent carbon dots have already found appli- cations in light-emitting devices26,27, light harvesting28, bioimaging29,30...
Chirality is ubiquitous in biology, including in biomineralization, where it is found in many hardened structures of invertebrate marine and terrestrial organisms (for example, spiralling gastropod shells). Here we show that chiral, hierarchically organi
