Integrated Biophotonics with CYTOP
We describe how the amorphous fluoropolymer CYTOP can be advantageously used as a waveguide cladding material in integrated optical circuits suitable for applications in integrated biophotonics. The unique refractive index of CYTOP (n = 1.34) enables the cladding material to be well index-matched to an optically probed sample solution. Furthermore, ultra-high index contrast waveguides can be fa...
متن کاملUsing Biophotonics Cancer Detection
Tissue visualization of patients with early malignant disease is still performed by the naked eye and illumination with white light sources. Compared to the sophisticated diagnostic methods available prior to surgical intervention, this appears almost medieval. Fluorescence imaging and spectroscopy, however, allows us access to entirely different optical information on tissue constituents. Inte...
متن کاملQuantum Dots for Biophotonics
This theme issue provides an excellent collection of reviews and original research articles on the study of various bioconjugated quantum dot formulations for diagnostics and therapy applications using biophotonic imaging and sensing approaches.
متن کاملBiophotonics of Native Silk Fibrils.
Native silk fibroin (NSF) is a unique biomaterial with extraordinary mechanical and biochemical properties. These key characteristics are directly associated with the physical transformation of unstructured, soluble NSF into highly organized nano- and microscale fibrils rich in β-sheet content. Here, it is shown that this NSF fibrillation process is accompanied by the development of intrinsic f...

While the bacteriocin Nisin has been employed by the food industry for 60 y, it remains the only bacteriocin to be extensively employed as a food preservative. This is despite the fact that the activity of Nisin against several food spoilage and pathogenic bacteria is poor and the availability of many other bacteriocins with significant potential in this regard. An alternative route to address ...
