Journal Article
Chauhan, V. M., Elsutohy, M. M., McClure, C. P., Irving, W. L., Roddis, N., & Aylott, J. W. (2021). Gold–Oligonucleotide Nanoconstructs Engineered to Detect Conserved Enteroviral Nucleic Acid Sequences. Biosensors, 11(7), Article 238. https://doi.org/10.3390/bios11070238

Enteroviruses are ubiquitous mammalian pathogens that can produce mild to life-threatening disease. We developed a multimodal, rapid, accurate and economical point-of-care biosensor that can detect nucleic acid sequences conserved amongst 96% of all...

Fluorescent nanosensors reveal dynamic pH gradients during biofilm formation (2021)
Journal Article
Hollmann, B., Perkins, M., Chauhan, V. M., Aylott, J. W., & Hardie, K. R. (2021). Fluorescent nanosensors reveal dynamic pH gradients during biofilm formation. npj Biofilms and Microbiomes, 7(1), Article 50. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41522-021-00221-8

Understanding the dynamic environmental microniches of biofilms will permit us to detect, manage and exploit these communities. The components and architecture of biofilms have been interrogated in depth; however, little is known about the environmen...

Real-time measurement of the intracellular pH of yeast cells during glucose metabolism using ratiometric fluorescent nanosensors (2017)
Journal Article
Elsutohy, M. M., Chauhan, V. M., Markus, R., Kyyaly, M. A., Tendler, S. J., & Aylott, J. W. (2017). Real-time measurement of the intracellular pH of yeast cells during glucose metabolism using ratiometric fluorescent nanosensors. Nanoscale, 9(18), 5904-5911. https://doi.org/10.1039/c7nr00906b

Intracellular pH is a key parameter that influences many biochemical and metabolic pathways that can also be used as an indirect marker to monitor metabolic and intracellular processes. Herein, we utilise ratiometric fluorescent pH-sensitive nanosens...
