Surface passivation and functionalisation for mass photometry

Suliana Manley, Jenny Sülzle, Laila Abdelaziz Abdelmoniem Elfeky

Interferometric scattering (iSCAT) microscopy enables the label-free observation of biomolecules. Consequently, single-particle imaging and tracking with the iSCAT-based method known as mass photometry (MP) is a growing area of study. However, establishing ...

Core-shell Structured Chitosan-polyethylenimine Nanoparticles for Gene Delivery: Improved Stability, Cellular Uptake, and Transfection Efficiency

Sandrine Gerber, Perrine Agnes Edith Robin, Laura Camille Louise Nicolle

Gene therapy emerged as a promising treatment option for acquired and inherited diseases. The delivery of nucleic acids relies on vectors that condense and encapsulate their cargo. Especially non-viral gene delivery systems are of increasing interest. Howe ...

Fluorinated surfactants in droplet-based microfluidics: Influence of their composition on the properties of emulsion drops

Gianluca Nicolas Etienne

Miniaturization has been a driving force in many areas of science and technology, most notably in the electronics industry. Droplet-based microfluidics, a methode to produce emulsion drops in a controlled way and at high-throughputs, enables the miniaturiz ...

Adhesion of surgical sealants used in cardiothoracic and vascular surgery

Yves Leterrier, Yann Barrandon

Surgical sealants are widely used in cardiothoracic and vascular surgery essentially for hemostasis and sealing. Their adhesive properties have mainly been studied by clinical experiments. The objective of this study is to measure adhesion of the three mai ...

Additives for vaccine storage to improve thermal stability of adenoviruses from hours to months

Francesco Stellacci, Paulo Henrique Jacob Silva, Randy Patrick Carney, Valeria Cagno

Up to 80% of the cost of vaccination programmes is due to the cold chain problem (that is, keeping vaccines cold). Inexpensive, biocompatible additives to slow down the degradation of virus particles would address the problem. Here we propose and character ...

X-ray irradiation synthesis of PEG-coated Au-Pd nanoparticles

Giorgio Margaritondo

We demonstrate that the combination of x-ray irradiation and capping by polyethylene glycol (PEG) produces excellent flexibility in controlling the structure of Au-Pd nanoparticles while preserving their catalytic performance. We specifically adopted two d ...
