SYMPOSIUM Barnacles and Biofouling
Synopsis Biofouling, the attachment and growth of organisms on submerged, man-made surfaces, has plagued ship operators for at least 2500 years. Accumulation of biofouling, including barnacles and other sessile marine invertebrates, increases the frictional resistance of ships’ hulls, resulting in an increase in power and in fuel consumption required to make speed. Scientists and engineers reco...
متن کاملRoadmap on semiconductor-cell biointerfaces.
This roadmap outlines the role semiconductor-based materials play in understanding the complex biophysical dynamics at multiple length scales, as well as the design and implementation of next-generation electronic, optoelectronic, and mechanical devices for biointerfaces. The roadmap emphasizes the advantages of semiconductor building blocks in interfacing, monitoring, and manipulating the acti...
متن کاملThe new faces of biointerfaces?
This year’s Biological Surfaces and Interfaces, or Biointerfaces, meeting that took place between the 30th of June and the 5th of July, 2013 in Sant Feliu de Guixols (Spain), [1] was different. It was the latest in the series of meetings covering ... interfaces between synthetic materials and biological systems or within biological systems – biointerfaces.... These meetings took place every oth...
متن کاملProtein/Peptide Aggregation and Amyloidosis on Biointerfaces
Recently, studies of protein/peptide aggregation, particularly the amyloidosis, have attracted considerable attention in discussions of the pathological mechanisms of most neurodegenerative diseases. The protein/peptide aggregation processes often occur at the membrane-cytochylema interface in vivo and behave differently from those occurring in bulk solution, which raises great interest to inve...
متن کاملDesigning fractal nanostructured biointerfaces for biomedical applications.
Fractal structures in nature offer a unique "fractal contact mode" that guarantees the efficient working of an organism with an optimized style. Fractal nanostructured biointerfaces have shown great potential for the ultrasensitive detection of disease-relevant biomarkers from small biomolecules on the nanoscale to cancer cells on the microscale. This review will present the advantages of fract...
