Background: Recently, some new nanobiosensors using different nanoparticles or microarray systems for detection of mycotoxins have been designed . However, rapid, sensitive and early detection of aflatoxicosis would be very helpful to distinguish high-risk persons. Objectives: We report a highly sensitive competitive immunoassay using magnetic/silica core shell as a signal intensifier for the d...

Horizon 2020 is the new European Commission’s initiative: the biggest financial program for Research and Innovation which goes “From fundamental research to market innovation” involving the entire innovation chain. With over 74 billion euros budget, H2020 searches turning scientific breakthroughs into innovative products and services [1]. Novelties of the framework include a risk management str...

Divisions of Engineering and Orthopedics, Brown University, Providence, RI, USA Projections for nanomedicine into the next decade: But is it all about pharmaceuticals? It is clear that many “think tanks” have projected high growth for nanomedicine in the coming decades (Visiongain 2006). But ask yourself this question: In what commercial areas will nanomedicine make the largest impact? Are ther...

When moving from native to light activated bacteriorhodopsin, modification of charge transport consisting of an increase of conductance is correlated to the protein conformational change. A theoretical model based on a map of the protein tertiary structure into a resistor network is implemented to account for a sequential tunneling mechanism of charge transfer through neighbouring amino acids. ...

An improved understanding of the interactions at the nanoscale level between the bioceramics in medical impl~ntsand th.ehard or soft tissues in the human body could contribute significantly to the design of new-generation prostheses and postoperative patient management strategies. Overall, the benefits of advanced ceramic materials in biomedical applications have been universally accepted, spec...

In this Phase I study we explored the revolutionary concept of using genomics and nanotechnology together for the development of plants with traits suitable for human life support in non-Earth environments. This includes the potential for the use of remote monitoring and control devices in planta and ex planta as part of an overall architecture of human and autonomous control systems. This proj...
