Enhanced distance-dependent fluorescence quenching using size tuneable core shell silica nanoparticles (2018)
Journal Article
Elsutohy, M. M., Selo, A., Chauhan, V. M., Tendler, S. J., & Aylott, J. W. (2018). Enhanced distance-dependent fluorescence quenching using size tuneable core shell silica nanoparticles. RSC Advances, 8(62), 35840-35848. https://doi.org/10.1039/C8RA05929B

Silica nanoparticles (SNPs) have been used as favoured platforms for sensor, drug delivery and biological imaging applications, due to their ease of synthesis, size-control and bespoke physico-chemical properties. In this study, we have developed a p... Read More about Enhanced distance-dependent fluorescence quenching using size tuneable core shell silica nanoparticles.

Electrospun gelatin-based scaffolds as a novel 3D platform to study the function of contractile smooth muscle cells in vitro (2018)
Journal Article
Bridge, J. C., Amer, M. H., Morris, G. E., Martin, N., Player, D. J., Knox, A. J., …Rose, F. R. (2018). Electrospun gelatin-based scaffolds as a novel 3D platform to study the function of contractile smooth muscle cells in vitro. Biomedical Physics and Engineering Express, 4(4), Article 045039. https://doi.org/10.1088/2057-1976/aace8f

Contractile dysfunction of smooth muscle (SM) is a feature of chronic cardiovascular, respiratory and gastro-intestinal diseases. Owing to the low availability of human ex vivo tissue for the assessment of SM contractile function, the aim of this stu...

Development of a SERS strategy to overcome the nanoparticle stabilisation effect in serum-containing samples: Application to the quantification of dopamine in the culture medium of PC-12 cells (2018)
Journal Article
Dumont, E., De Bleye, C., Cailletaud, J., Sacre, P., Van Lerberghe, P., Rogister, B., …Ziemons, E. (2018). Development of a SERS strategy to overcome the nanoparticle stabilisation effect in serum-containing samples: Application to the quantification of dopamine in the culture medium of PC-12 cells. Talanta, 186, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.talanta.2018.04.038

The analysis of serum samples by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has gained ground over the last years. However, the stabilisation of colloids by the proteins contained in these samples has restricted their use in common practice, unless a...
