Abstract Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles are among the most promising materials, widely used to design novel platforms for treating diseases, including cancer, due to their biocompatibility and structure that enables a wide range of surface functionalization, as observed with polymers. In this work, we grew a polymeric structure, poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM-G4.0-like dendrimer), on the surface of nHAp. …

The synthesis and application of nanoparticles can lead to occupational exposure. Thus, this poses potential negative health outcomes associated with exposure to emitted nanoparticles. This is a result of the characteristics of nanoparticles, namely their high surface area, small size, and ability to penetrate the deeper regions of the respiratory system. This study focused on measuring the conce…

Abstract A key focus in cancer biomarker research is the quantification of telomerase-related signatures. In this study, we developed Eu 3 ⁺-doped silica nanoparticle immunoprobes for fluorescence-based quantification of telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) protein level as a proof-of-concept nanobiosensing platform. Biocompatible silica nanoparticles were functionalized with N-methacryloyl-L-…
