Abstract The significant rise in implementation and applications of plasmonic nanosystems biophysics, biochemistry, medicine has culminated the emergence refined enabling reagents, or “nanoagents”. These are defined as tools that allow researchers to not only investigate, but also actively manipulate biological processes complex biosystems, such living cells, on nanoscale. This development is b...

Understanding the mechanisms underpinning cellular responses to microenvironmental cues requires tight control not only of the complex milieu of soluble signaling factors, extracellular matrix (ECM) connections and cell-cell contacts within cell culture, but also of the biophysics of human cells. Advances in biomaterial fabrication technologies have recently facilitated detailed examination of ...
