A bacteriophage detection tool for viability assessment of Salmonella cells
Fernandes, Elisabete Ramos; Martins, V. C.; Nóbrega, Cláudia; Carvalho, Carla A. O. C. M.; Cardoso, F. A.; Cardoso, S.; Dias, J.; Deng, D.Salmonellosis, one of the most common food and water-borne diseases, has a major global health and economic impact. Salmonella cells present high infection rates, persistence over inauspicious conditions and the potential to preserve virulence in dormant states when cells are viable but non-culturable (VBNC). These facts are challenging for current detection methods. Culture methods lack the capacity to detect ...
Spintronic devices for biomedical applications
Freitas, P. P.; Cardoso, S.; Cardoso, F. A.; Dias, T.; Martins, V. C.; Fernandes, Elisabete Ramos; Carvalho, Carla A. O. C. M.; Azeredo, JoanaSpintronic devices have been proposed over the past decade for various biomedical applications. These include static or dynamic biomolecular recognition platforms ( DNA-cDNA, antibody-antigen, phage-bacteria, ), cytometer and cell separation devices and lateral bio assay platforms , microelectrode based devices for neuroelectronic applications, and hybrid sensor arrays for imaging applications [1]. The biomolec...
Challenges in spintronic platforms for biomedical applications
Freitas, P. P.; Cardoso, F. A.; Martins, V. C.; Fernandes, Elisabete Ramos; Martins, S. A. M.; Dias, T.; Amaral, J. P.; Cardoso, S.; Germano, J.Integrated spintronic biochip platforms are being developed for portable, point-of-care, diagnostic and cytometric applications [1,2]. Hybrid systems incorporating magnetoresistive sensors are applied to neuroelectronic studies and biomedical imaging, namely magnetoencephalography and magnetocardiography. Lab-on-a-chip MR-based platforms are under development to perform biological studies at the single molecule...
