Improvement of Polycaprolactone Nanofibers Topographies: Testing the Influence in Osteoblastic Proliferation

Martins A., Cunha J., Macedo F., Reis R.L., Neves N.M., University of Minho, PT

The nanofiber technology of present interest focuses on the electrospinning technique, which conveniently allows the preparation of fibrous materials with very fine diameters ranging from submicron to several nanometers. With the ability to form nanofibrous [...]

Use of Magnetoresistive Biochips for Monitoring of Pathogenesis Microorganisms in Water through Bioprobes: Oligonucleotides and Antibodies

Martins V.C.B., Fonseca L.P., Ferreira H.A., Graham D.L., Freitas P.P., Cabral J.M.S., Instituto Superior Técnico, PT

Magnetoresistive biochips have been integrated with success in a microtechnology engineered set-up for the development of a portable analytical device, characterized by low-cost with high sensitivity and selectivity of immunodetection and biomolecular methods [1, 2]. [...]
