Wireless electrical–molecular quantum signalling for cancer cell apoptosis (2023)
Journal Article
Jain, A., Gosling, J., Liu, S., Wang, H., Stone, E. M., Chakraborty, S., …Rawson, F. J. (2024). Wireless electrical–molecular quantum signalling for cancer cell apoptosis. Nature Nanotechnology, 19, 106-114. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41565-023-01496-y

Quantum biological tunnelling for electron transfer is involved in controlling essential functions for life such as cellular respiration and homoeostasis. Understanding and controlling the quantum effects in biology has the potential to modulate biol... Read More about Wireless electrical–molecular quantum signalling for cancer cell apoptosis.

Electrochemical Immunosensor for Ultra-Low Detection of Human Papillomavirus Biomarker for Cervical Cancer (2023)
Journal Article
Peteni, S., Ozoemena, O. C., Khawula, T., Haruna, A. B., Rawson, F. J., Shai, L. J., …Ozoemena, K. I. (2023). Electrochemical Immunosensor for Ultra-Low Detection of Human Papillomavirus Biomarker for Cervical Cancer. ACS Sensors, 8(7), 2761-2770. https://doi.org/10.1021/acssensors.3c00677

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the causative agent for cervical cancer. Of the various types of HPV, the high-risk HPV-16 type is the most important antigenic high-risk HPV. In this work, the antigenic HPV-16 L1 peptide was immobilized on a glassy car...

Engineering nanowires in bacteria to elucidate electron transport structural–functional relationships (2023)
Journal Article
Myers, B., Catrambone, F., Allen, S., Hill, P. J., Kovacs, K., & Rawson, F. J. (2023). Engineering nanowires in bacteria to elucidate electron transport structural–functional relationships. Scientific Reports, 13(1), Article 8843. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-023-35553-2

Bacterial pilin nanowires are protein complexes, suggested to possess electroactive capabilities forming part of the cells’ bioenergetic programming. Their role is thought to be linked to facilitating electron transfer between cells and the external...
