Quantum dots (QDs) are a novel class of inorganic fluorophore which are gaining
widespread recognition as a result of their exceptional photophysical properties. They are …

New nanocarrier platforms based on natural biological building blocks offer great promises
in revolutionalizing medicine. The usage of specific protein cage structures: virus-like …

Filamentous bacteriophage, long and thin filaments that are secreted from the host cells
without killing them, have been an antithesis to the standard view of head-and-tail bacterial …

Protein nanocages have been explored as potential carriers in biomedicine. Formed by the
self-assembly of protein subunits, the caged structure has three surfaces that can be …

Proteases are enzymes that catalyse the breaking of specific peptide bonds in proteins and
polypeptides. They are heavily involved in many normal biological processes as well as in …

This paper presents a review of imaging techniques and of their utility in system biology.
During the last decade systems biology has matured into a distinct field and imaging has …

Non-invasive imaging holds great promise for the early detection and treatment of human
disease. The ability to both detect and follow disease processes or anatomical defects …

Recognition of molecular diversity of cell surface proteomes in disease is essential for the
development of targeted therapies. Progress in targeted therapeutics requires establishing …

Traditional drug delivery strategies involve drugs which are not targeted towards the desired
tissue. This can lead to undesired side effects, as normal cells are affected by the drugs as …

Merging tumor targeting and molecular-genetic imaging into an integrated platform is limited
by lack of strategies to enable systemic yet ligand-directed delivery and imaging of specific …
