Local development of nanotechnology-based diagnostics

Development of photofragmentation- based diagnostics

Development of photofragmentation-based diagnostic concepts for studying H2O2, H2O, HO2 and O3 in three different measurement environments, i.e. a flow of vaporized H2O2/H2O, a premixed laminar methane/air flame and a plasma, produced by a gliding arc discharge, are reported in this thesis project. In addition, quantitative NO2 laser-induced fluorescence, LIF, measurements in a plasma generated...

Nanomaterials—Tools, Technology and Methodology of Nanotechnology Based Biomedical Systems for Diagnostics and Therapy

Nanomedicine helps to fight diseases at the cellular and molecular level by utilizing unique properties of quasi-atomic particles at a size scale ranging from 1 to 100 nm. Nanoparticles are used in therapeutic and diagnostic approaches, referred to as theranostics. The aim of this review is to illustrate the application of general principles of nanotechnology to select examples of life sciences...

DNA nanotechnology-based development of delivery systems for bioactive compounds.

Nucleic acids, DNA and RNA, not only allow transfer and replication of densely coded genetic information, but also act as danger signals triggering innate immune response. Recent progress in the design and construction of nano-sized structures using DNA has opened a new field of nanotechnology. The unique properties of nano-sized DNA constructs can be exploited to develop programmable materials...

Can Nanotechnology help push the Limit for Early Cancer Diagnostics?

J Nanomed Res 2017, 5(1): 00100 connected with it). Therefore, applications of these techniques are limited due to the lack of sufficient sensitivity to detect small numbers of malignant cells in the primary or even metastatic sites [1]. It is also difficult to detect specific cancer cell-surface markers, which are not only a target for cancer therapy but can also assist in the diagnosis and st...
