In this review, the emerging roles of group IV nanoparticles including silicon, diamond,
silicon carbide, and germanium are summarized and discussed from the perspective of …

Optical microbarcodes have recently received a great deal of interest because of their
suitability for a wide range of applications, such as multiplexed assays, cell tagging and …

Labeled nanoparticles have attracted much interest toward applications in bioimaging and
diagnostics. In particular, surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nanotags have been …

We report on a laser that is fully embedded within a single live cell. By harnessing natural
endocytosis of the cell, we introduce a fluorescent whispering gallery mode (WGM) …

Abstract Properties of organelles and intracellular structures play important roles in
regulating cellular functions, such as gene expression, cell motility and metabolism. The …

The ability to measure pressure changes inside different components of a living cell is
important, because it offers an alternative way to study fundamental processes that involve …

Brain-on-Chip (BoC) biotechnology is emerging as a promising tool for biomedical and
pharmaceutical research applied to the neurosciences. At the convergence between lab-on …

A new method for luminescent barcode based on nanoscale MOFs (MOF-253) is displayed,
which the barcoding is realized by postsynthetic method (PSM) to introduce lanthanide ion …

Lithographic nanopatterning techniques such as photolithography, electron-beam
lithography, and nanoimprint lithography (NIL) have revolutionized modern-day electronics …

Reliable methods to individually track large numbers of cells in real time are urgently
needed to advance our understanding of important biological processes like cancer …
