Effect of cytosol on the dynamic behaviours of microtubules

Wang C.Y., Li C.F., Adhikari S., Swansea University, UK

The cytosol effect on the dynamic behaviours of microtubules (MTs)is examined based on a newly developed shell-Stokes flow model. The phonon dispersion relations are predicted and the damping effect of cytosol is quantifies. Three differernt [...]

A Novel Electrochemical Nitric Oxide Sensor: Aligned RuO2 Nanowires Deposited on Pt filament

Wang C.Y., Liu J., Piantadosi C.A., Allen B.W., Duke University, US

We fabricated a novel electrochemical NO sensor by depositing aligned ruthenium oxide (RuO2) nanowires on a fine Pt filament. This device exhibited a high current density and a low detection limit for NO in aqueous [...]

Studies on the Subcellular Trafficking of PAMAM Dendrimer

Lai P.S., Shieh M.J., Pai C.L., Wang C.Y., Lou P.J., National Taiwan University, TW

Polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers are a new class of highly branched spherical polymers and have emerged as a novel synthetic drug and gene carrier. However, the fate of the dendrimer-nucleotide complexes in a biological environment and [...]
