Purpose: This study investigates the cellular uptake and trafficking of liposomes in Caco-2 cells, using vesicles with distinct average diameters ranging from 40 nm-276 nm. Liposomes were prepared by microfluidic hydrodynamic flow focusing, producing
Forensic Science International: Genetics, which is the official journal of the International Society for Forensic Genetics, has grown in readership and impact factor since its introduction in 2007. This article reviews some metrics of the 32 issues

In this proof-of-concept study, we describe the use of the main red beet pigment betanin for the detection of bacterial spores, including Bacillus anthracis. In the presence of europium(III) ions, betanin is converted to a water-soluble, non-luminescent
This standard practice is intended to aid in the calibration and qualification of fluorescence spectrometers as part of complying with regulatory and other QA/QC requirements. It specifies the materials and procedures used in three different methods for
