Chitosan Nanoparticle Combined with Ultrasound for Cervical Cancer Detection

Tsai K-C, Shieh M.J., Yang S.J., Lin W-L, Chen W-S, Institute of Biomedical Engineering, TW

Photodynamic medicine is a novel approach for cancer detection and treatment via different photosensitizers and suitable light source. The 5-Aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) can be converted into protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) that can be utilized as a [...]

Colorectal Cancer Cell Detection by Chitosan Nanoparticle Conjugated with Folic Acid

Yang S.J., Chen J-W, Shieh M.J., Institute of Biomedical Engineering, TW

Endoscopy is a common diagnosis device for the detection of colorectal cancer and there are two methods to improve the diagnostic sensitivity. One is chromoendoscopy, and the other is magnifying endoscopy. Color contrast dye, such [...]

A Novel, Low Power Biosensor for Real Time Monitoring of Creatinine and Urea in Peritoneal Dialysis

Premanode B., Toumazou C., Institute of Biomedical Engineering, UK

Novel biosensors, based on immobilized creatininase, creatinase and urease are developed, using ISFETs with weak inversion at pH 6-8 and 37.0oC. The ISFETs with circuitry, demonstrate a linear relationship of urea and creatinine at the [...]
