Theranostics: rethinking postgenomic diagnostics

Multifunctional magnetoplasmonic nanoparticle assemblies for cancer therapy and diagnostics (theranostics).

In this work, we describe the preparation and biomedical functionalities of complex nanoparticle assemblies with magnetoplasmonic properties suitable for simultaneous cancer therapy and diagnostics (theranostics). Most commonly magnetoplasmonic nanostructures are made by careful adaptation of metal reduction protocols which is both tedious and restrictive. Here we apply the strategy of nanoscal...

Updates in molecular dermatopathology: from diagnostics to theranostics

The last decade has witnessed revolutionary developments in novel molecular techniques. The numerous available platforms have enhanced our diagnostic and prognostic capacities. Herein, we review the different applications of the currently available molecular tests in the field of neoplastic dermatopathology. First, we will discuss diagnostic platforms such as fluorescent in situ hybridization (...

Rethinking the Molecular Diagnostics for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Collective theranostics and postgenomics entrepreneurship: rethinking innovations as knowledge ecosystems built by complex collaboration.

Some might think science is a romantic endeavor. The classic ‘Edisonian’ lens of science has advanced precisely that vision: ‘the lone genius’. While this (false) metaphor of solitary scientific practice in a laboratory detached from society has prevailed for the past 400 years since the Enlightenment, ‘game changing’ transformative ideas do not hatch in a vacuum. Science and innovation are inh...
