Bacterial detection with amphiphilic carbon dots.
New bacterial detection and imaging methods are desirable for diagnostics and healthcare applications, as well as in basic scientific research. We present a simple analytical platform for bacterial detection and imaging based upon attachment of amphiphilic carbon dots (CDs) to bacterial cells. We show that CDs functionalized with hydrocarbon chains readily bind to bacterial cells following shor...
متن کاملMembrane analysis with amphiphilic carbon dots.
Newly-synthesized amphiphilic carbon dots were used for spectroscopic analysis and multicolour microscopic imaging of membranes and live cells. We show that Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) occurred from the amphiphilic carbon dots to different membrane-associated fluorescence acceptors. The amphiphilic carbon dots enabled imaging of membrane disruption by the beta-amyloid peptide.
متن کاملNew Selenoderivatives as Antitumoral Agents
Prostate cancer (PC) is the most common male malignancy in Western countries and the second most common urological malignancy (Knudsen & Vasioukhin, 2010). In 2008 the estimated new cases for PC in the European Union were 382.000 (Ferlay et al. 2010). The possibility of early detection is attractive to clinicians and potential patients in spite of the fact that until recently concrete evidence ...
متن کاملDensity Functional Theory Calculations of Functionalized Carbon Nanotubes with Metformin as Vehicles for Drug Delivery
Drug delivery by nanomaterials is an active emergent research area and CNTs draws considerable potential application owing to its unique quasi one-dimensional structure and electronic properties. Single walled carbon nanotubes and carbon fullerenes can be used in drug delivery due to their mechanical and chemical stability. The past few years, increasing attention by several reputed groups has ...
متن کاملAmphiphilic Block Copolymer Micelles for Drug Delivery Vehicles
Amphiphilic block copolymer micelles have been the focus of research for the last decades because of the promising properties as nano size drug delivery vehicles. In polar aqueous milieu, copolymers self assemble into micelle structures which consist of hydrophilic corona and hydrophobic core regions. Space created inside the micelle core can be used for transportation of drug molecules of hydr...
