Capacitance-based real time monitoring of endocytosis

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
There exist three kinds of endocytosis; receptor mediated endocytosis, pinocytosis and phagocytosis. First, receptor-mediated endocytosis is essential for targeted gene/drug delivery to a specific cell type. Second, pinocytosis is the engulfing and digestion of dissolved [...]

Detecting Infectious Organisms: A Concerted Approach using Genomics, Molecular Engineering and Nano-enabled bio-MEMS Technologies

, , , , , , , , , , ,
It is now widely accepted that a combination of nanotechnology and engineering that harnesses the full potential of genomic information through real-time predictive, preventive, point-of-care healthcare provision will lead to the next technological revolution. However, [...]

Silica coated Magnetic Nanoparticles (SMNPs): Capture and Identification of Escherichia coli Cells using Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy

, , , , , , , , , ,
Silica coated Magnetic nanoparticles (SMNPs; SiO2/Fe3O4 + Fe2O3) were prepared by encapsulation of iron oxide NPs with silica dioxide using the sol-gel method and characterized through transmission and scanning electron microscopic imaging, magnetic hysteresis and [...]

Selectivity study for a reagent-less and enzyme-free nanopore glucose sensor against interferences of non-glucose sugars and other substances

, , , , , ,
Accurate blood glucose monitoring is critical for diabetes patients to tightly control their diseases. For decades, blood glucose monitoring technology has relied on the use of reagents, including enzymes, mediators, and buffers. This monitoring technology [...]
