Microspheres have become an important material in the biomedical and environmental sciences, particularly for use in the detection of pathogenic microorganisms and toxins as well as for use as carriers in drug delivery. In this study, their use in mi... Read More about Polymer microspheres for microbial detection.

Evaluating the uptake, intracellular fate and functional consequences of hepatocyte exposure to a range of nanoparticles, in vitro (2009)

The liver is recognised as a potential target site for nanoparticle (NP) toxicity, as NPs have been observed to accumulate within this organ subsequent to exposure via injection, inhalation or instillation. The liver’s unique structure has to be take... Read More about Evaluating the uptake, intracellular fate and functional consequences of hepatocyte exposure to a range of nanoparticles, in vitro.
