Abstract Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a widely used tool for nanoscale characterization across materials science, energy research, and biology. However, its adoption in high-throughput materials discovery and statist...

Extracellular matrix (ECM) represents more than a mere intercellular cement. It is physiologically active in cell communication, adhesion and proliferation. Collagen is the most abundant protein, making up to 90% of ECM,...

Bacterial exopolysaccharides (EPS) are macromolecules usually synthesized during growth under certain incubation conditions. Depending on their location, they may be of a capsular type (tightly bound to the cell surface)...

The deposition of chlorhexidine base on thermosensitive N-isopropylacrylamide polymeric microparticles was assessed in this study using energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDXS) in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) se...

Abstract Background Leishmaniasis is a vector-borne parasitic disease caused by Leishmania protozoa. The disease manifests in several clinical presentations including cutaneous, mucocutaneous, and visceral leishmaniasis....

ABSTRACT High‐resolution fluorescence microscopy deep inside thick, live specimens remains a major challenge due to scattering and limited penetration depth. Structured illumination microscopy (SIM) is widely used for ...

Precisely pinpointing the positions of emitters within the diffraction limit is crucial for quantitative analysis or molecular mechanism investigation in biomedical research but has remained challenging unless exploiting...

Reducing radiation damage is becoming a crucial factor in the development of future electron microscopes. The concept of interaction-free imaging utilizing a Mach–Zehnder interferometer has been proposed originally in....

Abstract Background The World Health Organisation’s “Test, Treat, and Track” initiative for malaria underscores the need for accurate diagnosis to guide effective treatment and reduce drug misuse. In Ghana, about 7...

Slot bracket base is one important element to enable sliding movement of the archwire. Bracket reconditioning by means of burning changes the surface roughness of slot bracket base. The heat above 450 °C shows microstru...

Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is a noninvasive biomedical imaging technology capable of multiscale imaging of biological samples from organs down to cells. Multiscale PAI requires different ultrasound transducers that are ...

Semiconductor nanowires can enhance the signal of fluorescent molecules, thus significantly improving the limits of fluorescence detection in optical biosensing. In this work, we explore how the sensitivity can further b...

The effect of lactocin AL705, bacteriocin produced by Latilactobacillus (Lat.) curvatus CRL1579 against Listeria biofilms on stainless steel (SS) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coupons at 10 ◦C was investigated. L....

Nonlinear optics, when combined with microscopy, is known to provide advantages including novel contrast, deep tissue observation, and minimal invasiveness. In addition, special nonlinearities, such as switch on/off and ...

Abstract Background Human patients with Ehlers‐Danlos syndrome (EDS) are categorized into subtypes based on causative genetic variants and phenotypes. The classical form of EDS, primarily caused by variants in COL5A1 o...

Component interaction in the Tl2Te – SiTe2 and Tl2SiTe3 – Cd(Hg)Te systems was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential thermal analysis (DTA), and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spe...

Although photothermal therapy (PTT) has demonstrated its clinical value and adaptability, it still requires imaging guidance to motivate the development of precise and effective treatment. For PTT, high-resolution visual...

The advent of optically functional materials with low-intensive processing methods is accompanied by a growing need for high resolution imaging to probe the inherent inhomogeneities in the underlying microstructure. Atom...

This article presents a simple method towards the preparation of functionalized silver nanoparticles in a continuous medium. Silver nanoparticles were obtained through AgNO3 chemical reduction in ethanol and triethylenet...

Spectroscopic photoemission microscopy is used to detect and quantify a ponderomotive shift in the energy of electrons that are emitted from a surface plasmon polariton focus. The focus is formed on an atomically flat Au...

The increasing complexity of composite materials structured on the nanometer scale requires highly sensitive analytical tools for nanoscale chemical identification, ideally in three dimensions. While infrared near-field ...

The process which involves ionic exchange was applied with the use of a Mexican zeolitic mineral (Taxco-Guerrero) to remove Zn, Cd, and Ni from an aqueous solutions. Mineral zeolitic samples in their sodium form were put...

We studied the near-field properties of localized surface plasmon resonances in finite linear gold nanochains using photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM). The localization of the electromagnetic field in the near-fiel...

Abstract The dissemination route of brain metastases dictates their spatiotemporal distribution, but whether it alters the ultrastructural state of the blood-tumor barrier remains unresolved. Here, we compared a modified...
