Silicon Carbide Nanoparticles-Based Nanofibrous Membrane in Comparison With Thin-Film Enzymatic Glucose Sensor
This work presents, silicon carbide nanoparticles (SiCNPs) embedded in a conductive polymer (CP) to be electrospun to fabricate a nanofibrous membrane and a thin-film. Electrochemical enzymatic glucose sensing mechanism of an electrospun nanofibrous membrane (ENFM) of SiCNPs in a CP compared to a spin-coated-thin-film (SCTF) of SiCNPs in a CP. Fiber alignment in the form of a matrix is a key factor that determines the physical properties of nanofiber membrane compared to thin-film. It is found that glucose sensing electrodes formed by a SiCNPs-ENFM has enhanced binding of the glucose oxidase (GOx) enzyme within the fibrous...

Modeling of Anti-Cancer Drug Release Kinetics From Liposomes and Micelles: A Review
Nanocarriers, such as liposomes and micelles, were developed to enhance the delivery of therapeutic drugs to malignant tissues. Internal or external stimuli can be applied to achieve spatiotemporal controlled release from these carriers. This will result in enhancing their therapeutic efficacy while reducing toxicity. Mathematical modeling is used to simulate drug release from nanocarriers; this will facilitate and optimize the development and design of desirable nanocarriers in a systematic manner, rather than a trial-and-error approach. This review summarizes nine mathematical models often used to simulate drug release f...

DNA Strand Displacement Reactions to Accomplish a Two-Degree-of-Freedom PID Controller and Its Application in Subtraction Gate
Synthesis control circuits can be used to effectively control biochemical molecule processes. In the controller design based on chemical reaction networks (CRNs), generally only the tracking set-point is considered. However, the influence of disturbances, which are frequently encountered in biochemical systems, is often neglected, thus weakening the control effect of the system. In this article, tracking set-point input and suppressing disturbance input are considered in the control effect. Firstly, CRNs are adopted to construct a two-degree-of-freedom PID controller by combining a one-degree-of-freedom PID controller with...

Hierarchical Micro-/Nanotopography for Tuning Structures and Mechanics of Cells Probed by Atomic Force Microscopy
Extracellular matrix plays an important role in regulating the behaviors of cells, and utilizing matrix physics to control cell fate has been a promising way for cell and tissue engineering. However, the nanoscale situations taking place during the topography-regulated cell-matrix interactions are still not fully understood to the best of our knowledge. The invention of atomic force microscopy (AFM) provides a powerful tool to characterize the structures and properties of living biological systems under aqueous conditions with unprecedented spatial resolution. In this work, with the use of AFM, structural and mechanical dy...

Effectiveness of Green Synthesis of Silver/Kaolinite Nanocomposite Using Quercus infectoria Galls Aqueous Extract and Its Chitosan-Capped Derivative on the Healing of Infected Wound
Kaolinite nanocomposites (NCs) could be utilized as agents for wound healing owing to their efficiency and low toxicity. The present study was conducted to synthesize a novel silver/kaolinite NCs (Ag/Kaol NCs) and investigate their chitosan derivation (Ag/Kaol/Chit NCs) using oak extract. XRD, SEM, EDX, FT-IR, and DLS were employed for the investigation of structural and physio-chemical properties of the synthesized NCs. The obtained results revealed that synthesized Ag/Kaol NCs were mesoporous and spherical with sizes ranging from 7–11 nm. They also demonstrated successful synthesis between silver and kaolinite usi...

Adaptive Parameter Model for Quasi-Spherical Cell Size Measurement Based on Lensless Imaging System
Many biological cells appear quasi-spherical, such as red blood cells, white blood cells, egg cells, cancer cells, etc. Cell size is an important basis for medical diagnosis. The traditional method is to use a microscope or flow cytometer to obtain the cell size. Either it depends on professionals and cannot be automated, or it is expensive and bulky, which are not suitable for point-of-care test. Lab-on-a-chip technology using a lensless imaging system gives a better solution for obtaining the cell size. In order to deal with the diffraction in the lensless imaging system, the distance between the light source and the cel...

Optical and Topological Characterization of Hexagonal DNA Origami Nanotags
In this study, we formed a hexagonal origami structure embedded with three different fluorescent dyes on the surface. The distance between each fluorescent block was ~120 nm, which is below the diffraction limit of light, allowing for its application as a nano-ruler for super-resolution fluorescence microscopy. The outside edge of the hexagonal structure was redesigned to form three different substructures as topological labels. Atomic and scanning force microscopy demonstrated the consistent nanoscale distance between morphological and fluorescent labels. Therefore, this fluorophore-embedded hexagonal origami platf...

A Large-Scale Fully Annotated Low-Cost Microscopy Image Dataset for Deep Learning Framework
This work presents a large-scale three-fold annotated, low-cost microscopy image dataset of potato tubers for plant cell analysis in deep learning (DL) framework which has huge potential in the advancement of plant cell biology research. Indeed, low-cost microscopes coupled with new generation smartphones could open new aspects in DL-based microscopy image analysis, which offers several benefits including portability, easy to use, and maintenance. However, its successful implications demand properly annotated large number of diverse microscopy images, which has not been addressed properly— that confines the advanced...

Fuzzy Recurrence Exponents of Subcellular-Nanostructure Dynamics in Time-Lapse Confocal Imaging
Studying the dynamics of nanostructures in the intracellular space is important because it allows gaining insights into the mechanism of complex biological functions of organelles. Understanding such dynamical processes can contribute to the development of nanomedicine for the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases caused by the interaction of multiple genes and environmental factors. Here a quantitative measure of spatial-temporal dynamics of nanostructures within a cell line in the context of nonlinear dynamics is introduced, where early endosomes, late endosomes, and lysosomes recorded by time-lapse confocal imaging a...

Altering the Multimodal Resonance in Ultrathin Silicon Ring for Tunable THz Biosensing
A technique is implemented for altering the multimodal resonance generated in an ultrathin silicon ring resonator-based terahertz (THz) absorber. The absorber provides the dual-band resonance with the excitation of magnetic and electric dipole in the lower and upper band, respectively. The field of magnetic and electric dipoles is altered using a non-resonant graphene ring placed in the center of the generated dipolar arrangement and the tunability and perfect absorption is achieved. A circuit model is prepared using transmission line method and absorber operation is verified. The proposed absorber can be utilized as a bio...
