Nanotechnology for Life Sciences Vol. 4: Nanodevices for Life Sciences Protein-based nanotechnology: Kinesin-microtubule driven systems for bioanalytical applications

Symbolic Calculation in the Life Sciences — Some Trends and Prospects

I discuss the literature and benefits of symbolic calculation in the life sciences; some ways to develop the field; and a way to model sequential processes.

Dendrimers for siRNA Delivery

Since the discovery of the "starburst polymer", later renamed as dendrimer, this class of polymers has gained considerable attention for numerous biomedical applications, due mainly to the unique characteristics of this macromolecule, including its monodispersity, uniformity, and the presence of numerous functionalizable terminal groups. In recent years, dendrimers have been studied extensively...

Nanopore-Based Devices for Bioanalytical Applications

With over a decade passed since the first reported use of a Staphylococcal a-hemolysin pore to study single molecules of single-stranded DNA, research in the field of nanopores has advanced rapidly. We discuss the technological progression of nanopore-based devices from the initial use of a-hemolysin pores to the advent of solid-state nanopores to the burgeoning of organice inorganic hybrid por...
