In this study, we designed aptamer-gated nanocapsules for the specific targeting of cargo to bacteria with controlled release of antibiotics based on aptamer-receptor interactions. Aptamer-gates caused a specific decrease ...

Bacterial resistance is a high priority clinical issue worldwide. Thus, an effective system that rapidly provides specific treatment for bacterial infections using controlled dose release remains an unmet clinical need. ...

The presence of pathogenic bacteria is a major health risk factor in food samples and the commercial food supply chain is susceptible to bacterial contamination. Thus, rapid and sensitive identification methods are in ...

Aptamers have been increasingly applied in biomedical field as a class of biorecognition elements that possess many advantages such as high specificity and binding affinity, easy synthesis, easy modification, small size, ...

With the recent advances in nanotechnology, in the past decade, the ways of doing biomedicine have been reshaped considerably. Nanometer-size structures (nanoparticles, nanowires, nanocapsules, etc.) are used in biosensing, ...

A paper-based biosensor was developed for the detection of the degradation products of organophosphorus pesticides. The biosensor quantifies acetylcholine esterase inhibitors in a fast, disposable, cheap, and accurate ...

In this study, combining the nanoparticle embedded sensors with lateral flow assays, a novel strategy for ensuring the quality of signalling in lateral flow assays (LFAs) was developed. A LFA for reactive oxygen species ...

Aptamers have been increasingly applied in biomedical field as a class of biorecognition elements that possess many advantages such as high specificity and binding affinity, easy synthesis, easy modification, small size, ...

Lateral flow assay (LFA) type of biosensors have been popular due to cost-effectiveness and easy-interpretation for instant results, most common examples of applications being pregnancy tests, food safety or medical ...
