Superfast and controllable microfluidic inking of anti-inflammatory melanin-like nanoparticles inspired by cephalopods

Abstract

Here, a microfluidic approach for superfast melanin-like nanoparticle preparation with tunable size and monodispersity is reported. The particles formed have similar chemical composition to those prepared by the bulk method, and show reactive oxygen species scavenging behaviour and inflammatory macrophage phenotype switching capability, suggesting their potential for anti-inflammatory applications.
