Nucleic acids are excellent at recognizing complementary sequences through the formation
of Watson− Crick base pairs. Since the base pairing enables the highly selective …

As our understanding of the human genome increases there is an ever expanding demand
for fast, sensitive and selective methods of DNA analysis. Due to the low associated …

The recent findings concerning the function of microRNAs (miRNAs) and the relationship
between miRNA levels with specific disease highlight the need for miRNA detection. In this …

The design and interpretation of surface hybridization assays is complicated by poorly
understood aspects of the interfacial environment that cause both kinetic and …

Previous work has described several reagentless, electrochemical DNA (E-DNA) sensing
architectures comprised of an electrode-immobilized, redox-tagged probe oligonucleotide …

New methods based on surfaces or beads have allowed measurement of properties of
single DNA molecules in very accurate ways. Theoretical coarse grained models have been …

Semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with tailored corona phases
(CPs), or surface-adsorbed molecules, have emerged as a promising interface for sensing …

We examined the feasibility of optimizing protein corona composition to improve the
targeting efficiency of a tumor targeting peptide (Pep2) functionalized AuNPs (Au-Pep2) by …

It is urgent to establish a fast, convenient, accurate, and low-cost miRNA quantitative
detection platform, which is important in disease development and the early diagnosis of …

Motivation: In the brain of elderly-healthy individuals, the effects of sexual dimorphism and
those due to normal aging appear overlapped. Discrimination of these two dimensions …
