Shaping the topology of light with a moving Rabi-oscillating vortex
Lorenzo Dominici, Nina Voronova, David Colas +8
Quantum vortices are the analogue of classical vortices in optics, Bose-Einstein condensates, superfluids and superconductors, where they provide the elementary mode of rotation an…
Highly sensitive fluorescent pH microsensor based on the ratiometric dye pyranine immobilized on silica microparticles
Anil Chandra, Saumya Prasad, Helena Iuele +5
Pyranine (HPTS) is a remarkably interesting pH sensitive dye that has been used for plenty of applications. Its high quantum yield and extremely sensitive ratiometric fluorescence…
Emerging Technologies for Cancer Research: Towards Personalized Medicine with Microfluidic Platforms and 3D Tumor Models
Matteo Turetta, Fabio Del Ben, Giulia Brisotto +7
In the present review, we describe three hot topics in cancer research such as circulating tumor cells, exosomes, and 3D environment models. The first section is dedicated to micro…
Towards the development of human immune-system-on-a-chip platforms
Alessandro Polini, Loretta L. del Mercato, Adriano Barra +3
Organ-on-a-chip (OoCs) platforms could revolutionize drug discovery and might ultimately become essential tools for precision therapy. Although many single-organ and interconnected…
A synergic approach to enhance long term culture and manipulation of MiaPaCa-2 pancreatic cancer spheroids
Marta Cavo, Donatella Delle Cave, Eliana D'Amone +3
Tumour spheroids have the potential to be used as preclinical chemosensitivity assays. However, the production of three dimensional (3D) tumour spheroids remains challenging as not…
Probing the pH microenvironment of mesenchymal stromal cell cultures on additive-manufactured scaffolds
Ivan Lorenzo Moldero, Anil Chandra, Marta Cavo +5
Despite numerous advances in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, monitoring the formation of tissue regeneration and its metabolic variations during culture…
Electrospun nanofibers in cancer research: from engineering of in vitro 3D cancer models to therapy
Marta Cavo, Francesca Serio, Narendra R. Kale +3
Electrospinning is historically related to tissue engineering due to its ability to produce nano-/microscale fibrous materials with mechanical and functional properties that are ex…
Femtomolar Biodetection by a Compact Core-Shell 3D Chiral Metamaterial
Mariachiara Manoccio, Marco Esposito, Elisabetta Primiceri +8
Highly sensitive and selective label free devices for real-time identification of specific biomarkers are expected to significantly impact the biosensing field. The ability of plas…
Optical and magnetic resonance imaging approaches for investigating the tumour microenvironment: state-of-the-art review and future trends
S. Prasad, A. Chandra, M. Cavo +8
The tumour microenvironment (TME) strongly influences tumorigenesis and metastasis. Two of the most characterized properties of the TME are acidosis and hypoxia, both of which are…
