Surface plasmon resonance imaging of excitable cells (2019)
Journal Article
Howe, C. L., Webb, K. F., Abayzeed, S. A., Anderson, D. J., Denning, C., & Russell, N. A. (2019). Surface plasmon resonance imaging of excitable cells. Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics, 52(10), Article 104001. https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6463/aaf849

Surface plasmons (SPs) are surface charge density oscillations occuring at a metal/dieletric interface and are highly sensitive to refractive index variations adjacent to the surface. This sensitivity has been exploited successfully for chemical and... Read More about Surface plasmon resonance imaging of excitable cells.

In order for the field of bioelectronics to make an impact on healthcare, there is an urgent requirement for the development of “wireless” electronic systems to both sense and actuate cell behaviour. Herein we report the first example of an innovativ... Read More about Wireless bioelectronic nanosystems for intracellular communication.

Rapid one-step biotinylation of biological and non-biological surfaces (2018)
Journal Article
Henry, S., Williams, E., Barr, K., Korchagina, E., Tuzikov, A., Ilyushina, N., …Bovin, N. (2018). Rapid one-step biotinylation of biological and non-biological surfaces. Scientific Reports, 8(1), Article 2845. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-21186-3

We describe a rapid one-step method to biotinylate virtually any biological or non-biological surface. Contacting a solution of biotin-spacer-lipid constructs with a surface will form a coating within seconds on non-biological surfaces or within minu...
