Several chronic disorders including type 2 diabetes (T2D), obesity, heart disease and
cancer are preceded by a state of chronic low-grade inflammation. Biomarkers for the early …

Self-assembly offers unique possibilities for fabricating nanostructures, with different
morphologies and properties, typically from vapour or liquid phase precursors. Molecular …

Area-selective atomic layer deposition (AS-ALD) is a promising bottom-up patterning
approach for fabricating conformal thin films. One of the current challenges with respect to …

In view of the relevance of organic thin layers in many fields, the fundamentals, growth
mechanisms, and dynamics of thin organic layers, in particular thiol-based self-assembled …

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based immunoassays have several
advantages, such as high sensitivity and multiplex capabilities; they are emerging as a …

This review aims at giving the readers the basic concepts needed to understand two-

In this article, we report the development of an electrochemical biosensor for the
determination of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (rS). A gold disc electrode was …

Low-molecular-weight chitosan (LMW chitosan,< 10 kDa) have a significant potential for
biomedical applications (eg, antimicrobial and gene/drug delivery) because of their higher …

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are widely used in surface modifications, specifically in
tuning the surface chemistry of materials. The structure and properties of SAMs have been …

The interplay of fluorination and structure of alkane self-assembled monolayers and how
these affect hydrophobicity are explored via molecular dynamics simulations, contact angle …
