The imperative to accurately monitor algae growth and composition stems from their pervasive impact on ecosystem dynamics [...]
Coupling spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE), quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D), X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM), we developed a multi-technique approach to characterize the surface immobilizat...
Introduction [...]
Massive use of antibiotics in veterinary medicine has led to their accumulation in meat and dairy products. Consumption of antibiotic-contaminated food can trigger the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, endangering human lives. Among antib...
Oxidative stress is defined by an imbalance between the generation of reactive oxygen species and the biological system’s ability to neutralize them. This condition is commonly linked to various pathological conditions [1]. Superoxide dismutase...
About 90% of blood serotonin is stored in secretory granules of platelets and is released by exocytosis [...]
This study presents a fully automated microfluidic electrochemical sensor for the detection of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) on the ESSENCE platform. The sensor utilizes functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with short ssDNA strands im...
In response to the environmental threat posed by xenobiotic aromatic pollutants in water, we have developed a compact device that integrates biosensor scaffolds with organic electronics. This innovative approach addresses the challenge of detecting t...
Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) is the hydroxylated form of Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and is expelled in the milk of both humans and animals following the consumption of AFB1-contaminated food. AFM1 has been categorized as a Group 1 carcinogen by the International Age...
The severity of various diseases is related to the concentration of interleukin 6 (IL-6), a proinflammatory cytokine crucial for the proliferation and differentiation of immunocompetent and hematopoietic cells. In ischemic cerebrovascular disease, it...
