Title: Early Detection of Malaria Parasitic RNA Through an Amplification-Free Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy Biosensor
Author: Blackwell, Ashley
Date Created: 2022
Subjects--Topical: Chemistry
Description: Malaria retains its position as one of the most highly transferable diseases throughout the world today, with current efforts focused on controlling its spread. A sensitive, asymptomatic-stage detection method is needed to diagnose malaria before ...

Title: Expanding structural space for immunomodulatory nucleic acid nanoparticles (NANPs) via spatial arrangement of their therapeutic moieties
Author: Afonin, Kirill A., Chandler, Morgan, Rolband, Lewis
Date Created: 2022
Subjects--Topical: Nucleic acids, Chemistry
Description: Different therapeutic nucleic acids (TNAs) can be unified in a single structure by their elongation with short oligonucleotides designed to self-assemble into nucleic acid nanoparticles (NANPs). With this approach, therapeutic cocktails with preci...

Title: Green Synthesis of Cellulose Graft Copolymers for Anion Exchange Water Purification
Author: Schmal, Stephen
Date Created: 2022
Subjects--Topical: Chemistry
