"Findget spinner for UTI detection "
"SEEDING to Enable Sensitive Electrochemical Detection of Biomarkers in Undiluted Biological Samples"
Jonathan Sabaté del Río, et al., Adv.Mater.2022, 34, 2200981
We discuss electrochemical roughening, a method based on the etching and redeposition of material from a flat surface, to create homogeneous, nanostructured, and nanoporous gold electrodes.
"Programmed exosome fusion for energy generation in living cells"
Sumit Kumar et al., Nature Catalysis 4, 763–774 (2021)
The design of artificial organelles for applications in living cells faces several challenges such as cellular uptake, stability, and biocompatibility. Here, fusion of exosomes creates beneficial nanoreactors and their use for compartmentalized biocatalytic cascade reactions in cells is demonstrated.
"Adaptive Architecture and Mechanoresponse of Epithelial Cells on a Torus",
Sun-Min Yu et al., Biomaterials, 2021 265, 120420
Our results collectively indicate the ability of epithelial cells to sense Gaussian curvatures and increase the expression of cytoplasmic and nucleus intermediate filaments as a protective measure against curvature-induced mechanical stress.
