Abstract

A new type of cascaded taper integrated ultra-long-period fiber grating (ULPFG) based immunobiologic sensor has been developed that benefits from the self-assembled monolayer of class I hydrophobin HGFI. Due to the cascaded arc, discharge tapers constitute an ultra-long-period and circular symmetrical refractive index modulation along fiber axial direction, and by local integration in one period, the mode coupling would generate to the higher harmonic of LP02, LP03 and LP04 modes in the wavelength range from 1300 nm to 1620 nm. The hydrophobic characteristic of the ULPFG surface is modified employing the HGFI, and the antibody molecule probes could be absorbed strongly on the HGFI nano-film, furthermore, the performances of immunobiologic sensing are investigated employing multiple control groups of matched and mismatched antigen molecule targets. The results show that it possesses higher sensing sensitivity of 4.5 nm/(µg/ml), faster response time about of 35 min, lower stability error of 8.8%, and excellent immuno-specificity. Moreover, this proposed ULPFG sensor has the advantages of low cost, simple fabrication and label-free, which is a powerful tool in the trace biomedical detection field.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
