A hyperpolarized xenon based contrast agent using a modified M13 bacteriophage scaffold
Introduction Molecular imaging aims to detect the presence and spatial distribution of specific biomarkers in tissue. However, for many diseases the detection of these biomarkers must be done at very low concentrations to maximize diagnostic and prognostic value. Due to lack of sensitivity in conventional MRI techniques, exogenous contrast agents (e.g. SPIO, PARACEST) are being widely studied t...
متن کاملCell-specific targeting by engineered M13 bacteriophage expressing VEGFR2 nanobody
Objective(s): Filamentous bacteriophage M13 was genetically engineered to specifically target mammalian cells for gene delivery purpose. Materials and Methods: A vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2)-specific nanobody was genetically fused to the capsid gene III of M13 bacteriophage (pHEN4/3VGR19). A mammalian expression construct containing Cop-green fluorescent protein (Cop-G...
متن کاملA novel method for preparing microplastic fibers
Microscopic plastic (microplastic, 0.1 µm-5 mm) is a widespread pollutant impacting upon aquatic ecosystems across the globe. Environmental sampling has revealed synthetic fibers are prevalent in seawater, sediments and biota. However, microplastic fibers are rarely used in laboratory studies as they are unavailable for purchase and existing preparation techniques have limited application. To f...
متن کاملRefactored M13 bacteriophage as a platform for tumor cell imaging and drug delivery.
M13 bacteriophage is a well-characterized platform for peptide display. The utility of the M13 display platform is derived from the ability to encode phage protein fusions with display peptides at the genomic level. However, the genome of the phage is complicated by overlaps of key genetic elements. These overlaps directly couple the coding sequence of one gene to the coding or regulatory seque...
متن کاملHighly elastic conductive polymeric MEMS
Polymeric structures with integrated, functional microelectrical mechanical systems (MEMS) elements are increasingly important in various applications such as biomedical systems or wearable smart devices. These applications require highly flexible and elastic polymers with good conductivity, which can be embedded into a matrix that undergoes large deformations. Conductive polydimethylsiloxane (...
