Biogenic Gold Nanoparticle‐Based Antibacterial Contact Lenses for Color Blindness Management
Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 26, Issue 5, March 2024.Biogenic gold nanoparticles (BAu NPs), derived from olive leaf extract, enhance commercial contact lenses with antibacterial and colourblind correction attributes. Synthesized using the breath in/breath out method, these nanoparticles exhibit stable dispersion without compromising lens properties. Biogenic gold nanoparticles (BAu NPs) synthesized using

Tracking amino acid’s uptake into the protozoan Acanthamoeba castellanii by stable-isotope labelling and Raman spectral imaging [PDF]
, 2016 The capacity of pathogens to acquire nutrients from their host cells is one of the most fundamental aspects of infection biology. Hence, measuring the patterns of nutrients’ uptake by pathogens is essential for understanding the interactions of pathogens
