Medical Nanobiosensors: A Tutorial Review
Hamideh Razavi, Sajad Janfaza A sensitive monitoring of biological analytes, such as biomolecules (protein, lipid, DNA and RNA), and biological cells (blood cell, virus and bacteria), is essential to assess and avoid risks for human health. Nanobiosensors, analytical devices that combine a biologically sensitive element with a nanostructured transducer, are being widely used for molecular […]
Biocompatible Near-infrared Quantum Dots Delivered to the Skin by Microneedle Patches Record Vaccination
Kevin J. McHugh et al. Accurate medical recordkeeping is a major challenge in many low-resource settings where well- maintained centralized databases do not exist, contributing to 1.5 million vaccine-preventable deaths annually. Here, we present an approach to encode medical history on a patient using the spatial distribution of biocompatible, near-infrared quantum dots (NIR QDs) in […]
