Engineering Nanowire-Mediated Cell Lysis for Microbial Cell Identification [PDF]

ACS Nano, 2019
Researchers have demonstrated great promise for inorganic nanowire use in analyzing cells or intracellular components. Although a stealth effect of nanowires toward cell surfaces allows preservation of the living intact cells when analyzing cells, as a completely opposite approach, the applicability to analyze intracellular components through ...
