Precisely Tuned Polymeric Nanocoatings as Active Protection for Biomedical Surfaces

Abstract

A research team from the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences, led by Hana Lísalová from the Laboratory of Functional Biointerfaces (LFB) of the Division of Optics, has developed a new polymeric nanocoating. It effectively prevents the accumulation of proteins and bacteria on the surface of biomaterials while promoting desirable immune cell responses and supporting the growth of bone-forming cells. 

Biosensors as a public health tool – research by a team of scientists from the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences has been published by the prestigious Journal of Travel Medicine

Abstract

Scientists from the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences have published the results of extensive research in the field of public health. Their aim was to map the occurrence of SARS-CoV-2 virus in Prague public transport during the COVID-19 pandemic. The team from the Laboratory of Functional Biointerfaces, led by Hana Lísalová, developed special biosensors for testing. Their use has provided new insights into the fight against infectious diseases.  The research has recently been published in Journal of Travel Medicine.
