Photoluminescence Detection of 2,4,6-Trinitrotoulene (TNT) Binding on Single Cell Diatom Biosilica

Creator:

Harms, Nathan D.

Abstract:

T. pseudonana biosilica and live cells was explored as a biosensor for detection of the explosive compound 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) in aqueous solution. The diatom frustule is an intricately nanostructured, highly porous biogenic silica material derived from the shells of microscopic algae called diatoms. This material emits strong visible blue photoluminescence...

Formation and Migration of Breast Cancer Spheroids

Creator:

Hurley, Casey M.

Abstract:

Invasive breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women during their lifetime. Current cancer research uses 2-D cell culturing, which does not accurately represent tumor behavior. In comparison to tumors, cells grown using 2-D cell culturing have different proliferation and diffusion rates, cell shapes, and gene expression. To improve in vitro...
