Aptamers have become coming-of-age molecular recognition elements in both diagnostic
and therapeutic applications. Generated by SELEX, the 'quality control'of aptamers, which …

The geotechnical characteristics of hydrocarbon-contaminated soils have been
concentrated heretofore due to the alarming frequency of hydrocarbon contaminations and …

Because the degree of labeling (DOL) of cell-bound antibodies, often required in
quantitative fluorescence measurements, is largely unknown, we investigated the effect of …

Present study reveals the low concentrations (∼ 4 ppm) of pesticide sensing vis-à-vis
degradation of pesticides with the help of nontoxic zinc oxide quantum dots (QD). In our …

Integrins are transmembrane receptors that, upon activation, bind extracellular ligands and
link them to the actin filament (F-actin) cytoskeleton to mediate cell adhesion and migration …

Background Lipid-based dispersion of nanoparticles provides a biologically inspired route to
designing therapeutic agents and a means of reducing nanoparticle toxicity. Little is …

Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) have been extensively explored in diverse fields because of
their exceptional features. The nanometric particles with photoluminescence (PL) benefit …

Despite extensive studies, many questions remain about what structural and energetic
factors give rise to the remarkable energy transport efficiency of photosynthetic light …

A selective aptameric sequence is adsorbed on a two-dimensional nanostructured metallic
platform optimized for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) measurements …

Second harmonic generation (SHG) and two-photon fluorescence (TPF) microscopy is used
to image the intercellular and pericellular matrix in normal and degenerate equine articular …
