Memristive Biosensors based on Full-size Antibodies and Antibody Fragments

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Ioulia Tzouvadaki, Sébastien Naus

For the first time memristive biosensors developed by the incorporation of scAbs (single-chain antibody fragments) enabling label-free detection of free Prostate Specific Antigen (fPSA) for early-stage detection of prostate cancer (PC) are reported. In add ...

An extended regulatory landscape drives Tbx18 activity in a variety of prostate-associated cell lineages

Christopher Chase Bolt, Soumya Negi

The evolutionarily conserved transcription factor, Tbx18, is expressed in a dynamic pattern throughout embryonic and early postnatal life and plays crucial roles in the development of multiple organ systems. Previous studies have indicated that this dynami ...

The miR-96 and RAR gamma signaling axis governs androgen signaling and prostate cancer progression

Gerard Llimos Aubach

Expression levels of retinoic acid receptor gamma (NR1B3/RARG, encodes RAR gamma) are commonly reduced in prostate cancer (PCa). Therefore, we sought to establish the cellular and gene regulatory consequences of reduced RAR gamma expression, and determine ...

Portable Memristive Biosensing System as Effective Point-of-Care Device for Cancer Diagnostics

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Danilo Demarchi, Ioulia Tzouvadaki, Abuduwaili Tuoheti

Memristive biosensors have been proved as excellent candidates for ultrasensitive biosensing. In this work, a novel portable bio-detection system based on memristive biosensors is designed, developed and tested for providing a significantly fast, automatic ...

Highly sensitive enzymatic MWCNTs-based biosensors for detection of abiraterone in human serum

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Nima Aliakbarinodehi

A highly-sensitive enzymatic biosensor is successfully experimented for detection of abiraterone in human serum with significance in personalized medicine and point-of-care chemotherapy of patients with metastatic prostate cancer. The dynamic range and lim ...

Characterization of cancer stem cell subpopulations from patient-derived xenografts of advanced prostate cancer

Marina Bice Manuela Menna, Markus Germann

Androgen-deprivation therapy is the standard treatment for prostate cancer. Despite the initial response, a fraction of cases manifest progression to castration-resistant prostate cancer. PCa recurrence is possibly due to androgen-independent cancer stem c ...

Ultra Selective and Sensitive Electrochemical Detection of Anti-Cancer and Anti-Viral Drugs by Optimized Nano-Bio-Sensors

Nima Aliakbarinodehi

Reliable, low cost, and accessible drug monitoring systems for individualized healthcare, especially chemotherapy for malignant diseases like prostate cancer and AIDS, are highly desira-ble. This is even more critical for drugs like abiraterone and TFV, wi ...
