Surface hydration: Principles and applications toward low-fouling/nonfouling biomaterials
Surface resistance to nonspecific protein adsorption, cell/bacterial adhesion, and biofilm formation is critical for the development and performance of biomedical and analytical devices. Significant needs and efforts have been made in the development of biocompatible and bioactive materials for antifouling surfaces, but much of the work retains an empirical flavor due to the complexity of exper...
متن کاملSmall interfering RNA; principles, applications and challenges--
Gene silencing using RNAi (RNA interference), has recently been used as a successful laboratory technique in determining the function and control of gene expression and provides a wide range of applications in molecular biology and gene therapy. RNAi is a method of suppressing gene expression. In this direction, a single-stranded RNA molecule of about 21–23 nucleotides, called siRNA (small inte...
متن کاملThe Principles and Recent Applications of Bioelectrocatalysis
Bioelectrocatalysis is a phenomenon concerned with biological catalysts, which accelerate the electrochemical reactions. Bioelectrocatalysis has been widely explored by the research community in various directions. Enzymes can catalyze different chemical reactions in living organisms by enzymes as the most important biological catalysts. These enzymatic biocatalysts are commercially available a...
متن کاملBiomaterials: Protein–Surface Interactions
The study of protein–surface interactions represents one of the most important topics in the field of biomaterials, and as such, it has been a focus of intensive study for several decades. The reason for the great interest in this topic is the realization that protein– surface interactions are fundamentally responsible for the biocompatibility of medical devices, or the lack thereof. When a sol...
متن کاملNanostructured Biomaterials and Their Applications
Some of the most important advances in the life sciences have come from transitioning to thinking of materials and their properties on the nanoscale rather than the macro or even microscale. Improvements in imaging technology have allowed us to see nanofeatures that directly impact chemical and mechanical properties of natural and man-made materials. Now that these can be imaged and quantified,...
