Delivery of Shiga Toxin 1 A Subunit into Epithelial Cells Using Silica-Based Nanowires

Kwon N.H., Beaux M., Sheng H., Ebert C., Wang L., McIlroy D.N., Hovde C.J., Bohach G.A., University of Idaho, US

Silica-based nanowires were used to introduce the Shiga toxin 1 A subunit (StxA1) into bovine and human epithelial cells. We extended our previous technology which employs fibronectin (Fn) as a ligand to induce integrin-mediated uptake [...]

Synthesis, Properties and Biomedical Applications of Novel Core-Shell Iron Magnetic Nanoparticles

Qiang Y., Antony J., Sharma A., Meyer D., Faheem M., Campanell M., University of Idaho, US

Nanoparticles have gained increased attention recently for biomedical and environmental applications. Biocompatible magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have been found promising in several biomedical applications for tagging, imaging, drug delivery, sensing and separation in recent years. Most [...]

Multi-plex biomolecular detection using Bio-nanotransduction

Branen J.R., University of Idaho, US

Bio-nanotransduction is a biological detection scheme that is based on biological recognition (Bio) and the production of biological nano-signals which allows the change of recognition event into universal signal molecules (nanotransduction). A single sample can [...]
