Cellular Delivery Modalities for Semiconductor Quantum Dots: A Comparative Analysis

Field L.D., Naval Research Lab/ University of Maryland College Park, US

Fluorescence continues to be one of the most useful tools employed by life scientists to visualize cellular processes. Semiconductor nanocrystals or quantum dots (QDs) have been demonstrated to be superior alternatives to traditional fluorophores (dyes [...]

Sensing voltage change across a lipid bilayer

Chen Y., Makinen A.J., O’Shaughnessy T.J., Efros A.L., Huston A., Susumu K., Stewart M.H., Delehanty J.B., Naval Research Laboratory, US

Developing nanoscale probes capable of real-time sensing and imaging of neuronal action potentials would be useful in understanding neuronal communication. However, current available tools for imaging action potentials lack either the spatial or temporal sensitivity [...]

From Nanogenomics and Structural-Functional Proteomics to Personalized Medicine for Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) as a Translational Model of Oral Cancer Usefull to Introduce an Industrial Technical Innovation

Nicolini C., Peshkova E., Bragazzi N., Fondazione ELBA Nicolini, US

Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) is a common chronic inflammatory disease, which involves the mucous membranes of the oral cavity, with an overall age-standardized prevalence of 1.27% (0.96% in men and 1.57% in women) as reported [...]

Microarray based Functional Nanoproteomics and Cancer

Nicolini C., Peshkova E., Fondazione ELBA Nicolini, US

Using NEBL proprietary “SNAP based Genes Expression” in conjuction with our proprietary “Submicron Arrays” (Anodic Porous Allumina and/or Kapton based Nanopores) , we use proprietary DNASER and Label Free Nanotechnologies to carry out : 1_Construction [...]

A Multifunctional Theranostic Nanoplatform for Image-Guided Surgery and Intraoperative Therapy

Taratula O., Schumann C., Duong T., Taylor K.L., Taratula O., Oregon State University, US

Currently, only optimal surgical resection of all disease sites can improve survival of ovarian cancer patients. Even with the best microsurgical techniques, however, palpation and visual inspection for malignant tissue identification can result in microscopic [...]

Synthesis of a pH Responsive Polymeric Drug Delivery – tailoring functionalization for effective delivery

Li X., Malardier-Jugroot C., Royal Military College of Canada, CA

Poly (styrene-alt-maleic anhydride), PSMA, is an amphiphilic alternating copolymer presenting a pH responsible self-assembly into nanotubes in aqueous solution. Its self-assembled structure with a 2nm hydrophobic inner diameter is stable in neutral pH solution, but [...]
