Accurate removal of tumors is the most critical aspect of cancer surgery, yet it remains a significant challenge in clinical practice. In breast cancer, for example, the positive margin rate—where ...
A mechanosensitive fluorescent probe visualises and quantifies the mechanical stress on bacterial membranes upon contact with a surface. (Nanowerk News) In natural environments, bacteria rarely live ...
The new carbon nanotube sensor design resembles a molecular toolbox that can be used to quickly assemble sensors for a variety of purposes -- for instance for detecting bacteria and viruses. An ...
Fluorescent nanomaterials smaller than 10 nm can disrupt drug-resistant bacteria through multiple mechanisms while enabling real-time imaging, offering a new direction in antimicrobial strategy ...
Up to 5% of people who have surgery can develop an infection — which can prolong healing and lead to dangerous complications, studies have shown. Additionally, chronic wounds affect around 6.5 million ...
Accurate removal of tumors is the most critical aspect of cancer surgery, yet it remains a significant challenge in clinical practice. In breast cancer, for example, the positive margin rate-where ...
Fluorescent imaging results from SAS-based fluorescence-guided surgery in animal models. Tumor and surrounding skin tissue were separated after imaging with the IVIS Macroscope to analyze the tumor-to ...
An interdisciplinary research team from Bochum, Duisburg and Zurich has developed a new approach to construct modular optical sensors which are capable of detecting viruses and bacteria. For this ...
