From Rational Design to Probe Optimization: the Role of Nanoparticle Valency in Single Cancer Cell Detection in Blood via Magnetic Relaxation

Kaittanis C., Santra S., Perez J.M., University of Central Florida, US

The conjugation of targeting ligands to iron oxide nanoparticles has achieved the development of specific assays for the detection of biomedical targets through magnetic relaxation. However, limited studies investigated how the nanoparticle valency modulates the [...]

In Situ Investigation of Uptake Phenomena of Biological Molecules and Silica Nanoparticles into Mammalian Cells in Microstructures

Lee W.G., Bang H., Yun H., Kim J.A., Cho K., Shin Y.S., Chung C., Chung N.C., Chung C., Chung N.C., Chang J.K., Han D-C, Seoul National University, KR

Electroporation is a powerful gene transfection method to deliver foreign biological molecules such as DNA and protein into living cells with electric pulsations. However, conventional cuvette-type electroporation techniques generally suffer from poor transfection efficiency and [...]
