The treatment for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) has not changed more than 20 years while the prognosis patients is still poor and most of them survive less 1 year after diagnosis. standard care GBM comprised surgical resection followed by radiotherapy oral chemotherapy with temozolomide. placement carmustine wafers in brain tumour removal added cases recurrent glioma. Significant research under...

A facile fabrication method to produce biocompatible semiconductor Quantum Dots encapsulated in high quality and thick thermal oxide is presented. The process employs sonication of porous Si/SiO2 structures to produce flakes with dimension in the 50-200 nm range. These flakes show a coral-like SiO2 skeleton with Si nanocrystals embedded in and are suitable for functionalization with other diagn...

Saponins are a class of naturally occurring bioactive and biocompatible amphiphilic glycosides produced by plants. Some saponins, such as α-hederin, exhibit unique cell membrane interactions. At concentrations above their critical micelle concentration, they will interact and aggregate with membrane cholesterol to form transient pores in the cell membrane. In this project, we utilized the uniqu...

This paper reports a new continuous-flow and label-free sorting scheme based on biocompatible ferrofluid hydrodynamics (ferrohydrodynamics) for the separation of mammalian cells (HeLa cells and mouse whole blood). Ferrofluids are stable magnetic nanoparticles suspensions used as sorting media in microfluidics for both particles and cells. Here we develop a biocompatible ferrofluid that can sust...
