Au nanorod assembly for sensitive SERS detection of airway inflammatory factors in sputum
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023 In this paper, we demonstrate a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) biosensor based on the self-assembly of gold nanorods (AuNRs) for the specific detection of airway inflammatory factors in diluted sputum.

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a type 2 inflammatory disease often associated with asthma. The global airway hypothesis suggests bidirectional inflammatory interactions between upper and lower airways. Mepolizumab, an anti–IL‐5 therapy, treats conditions systemically, while functional endoscopic sinus surgery ...
