Redox-labelled electrochemical aptasensors with nanosupported cancer cells

S. Li, Yannick Coffinier, C. Lagadec, Fabrizio Cleri, K. Nishiguchi, A. Fujiwara, T. Fujii, S.-H. Kim, Nicolas Clement

The transfer of redox-labelled bioelectrochemical sensors from proteins to cells is not straightforward because of the cell downward force issue on the surface of the sensors. In this paper, 20-nm-thick nanopillars are introduced to overcome this issue, in a well-controlled manner. We show on both…

Stiffening of nanoporous gold: experiment, simulation and theory

Claudio Melis, Giorgio Pia, Elisa Sogne, Andrea Falqui, Stefano Giordano, Francesco Delogu, Luciano Colombo

By combining electron microscopy measurements, atomistic simulations and elastic homogenization theory, we theoretically investigate the Young’s modulus of nanoporous Au structures. Based on atomistic replicas generated starting from experimental tomographic evidence, atomistic simulations reveal…

Chapter 3. Optimizing the Current Type 2 Diabetes Antidiabetics with Nanotechnologies: Where Do We Stand?

Amar Abderrahmani, Sabine Szunerits, Stéphane Dalle, Rabah Boukherroub

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is the most prominent form of diabetes worldwide. In the history of T2D, insulin resistance of liver, muscle and adipose tissue first develops with no apparent clinical signs. Hyperglycemia ensues when β-cells fail to release a sufficient insulin level into the bloodstream to…
