Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common dementia type and a leading cause of death disability in elderly. Diagnosis expensive invasive, urging development new, affordable, less invasive diagnostic tools. The identification changes expression non-coding RNAs prompts tools to detect disease-specific blood biomarkers. Building on this idea, work reports novel electrochemical microRNA (miRNA) biosensor for diagnosis AD, based carbon screen-printed electrodes (C-SPEs) modified with two gold...
Alginate-based dressings have been shown to promote wound healing, leveraging the unique properties of alginate. This work aimed develop and characterize flexible individual bilayered films deliver bacteriophages (phages) ε-Poly-l-lysine (ε-PLL). Films varied in different properties. The moisture content, swelling solubility increased with higher alginate concentrations. water vapour permeability, crucial biomedical balance levels for effective reached optimal bilayer films, indicating these...
In recent years, flexible electronics have experienced a massive growth as response to the high demand for new skin-patch sensor devices targeted at personal health-monitoring. this context, incorporation of biopolymers into backbone these soft systems brings opportunities in terms biocompatibility and sustainability performance. However, suitable integration conductive patterned material is still challenge, order achieve good adhesion transparency. Thus, silver nanowires (AgNWs) constitute...
