Colloidal self-assembly refers to a solution-processed assembly of nanometer-/micrometer-
sized, well-dispersed particles into secondary structures, whose collective properties are …

Self-luminous substances such as phosphorescent organisms and chemiluminescent
objects are ideal samples to observe under DFM. In such cases, no exogenous light source …

Integrating discrete plasmonic nanoparticles into assemblies can induce plasmonic coupling
that produces collective plasmonic properties, which are not available for single …

Their tunable optical properties and versatile surface functionalization have sparked
applications of plasmonic assemblies in the fields of biosensing, nonlinear optics, and …

This work demonstrates that targeting ligand density on nanoparticles can affect interactions
between the nanoconstructs and cell membrane receptors. We discovered that when the …

With the advent of nanofabrication techniques, plasmonic nanoparticles (PNPs) have been
widely applied in various research fields ranging from photocatalysis to chemical and bio …

Here, we discuss the transition model of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) activation, which is
derived from biophysical investigations of RTK interactions and signaling. The model …

Studies on the properties of plasmonic materials and new chemical biological sensors are
very important to our understanding of biological systems in single cells. Since the advent of …

In live cells, the plasma membrane is composed of lipid domains separated by hundreds of
nanometers in dynamic equilibrium. Lipid phase separation regulates the trafficking and …

As a general mechanism, ligand-induced receptor clustering on cell membrane plays
determinative roles in pattern recognition and transmembrane signaling. Nevertheless …
