    • Biocomposites prepared by alkaline phosphatase mediated mineralization of alginate microbeads 

      Xie, Minli; Magnus Østgård, Olderøy; Zhang, Zhibing; Andreassen, Jens-Petter; Strand, Berit Løkensgard; Sikorski, Pawel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      This study set out to develop a biomimetic scaffold by incorporating osteoinductive hydroxyapatite (HA) particles into a porous alginate gel matrix via a cell-friendly pathway. Two types of alginate/calcium phosphate ...

    • Ciprofloxacin intercalated in fluorohectorite clay: Identical pure drug activity and toxicity with higher adsorption and controlled release rate 

      Dos Santos, Éverton Carvalho; Rozynek, Zbigniew Jerzy; Hansen, Elisabeth Lindbo; Hartmann-Petersen, R; Klitgaard, RN; Løbner-Olesen, Anders; Michels, Leander; Mikkelsen, Alexander; Plivelic, Tomás S.; Bordallo, HN; Fossum, Jon Otto (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Different natural clay minerals, including halloysite, montmorillonite and kaolinite, have been proven to be efficient drug carriers providing for high and long lasting drug concentrations owing to their adsorption capacity ...

    • Electronic and structural properties of the natural dyes curcumin, bixin and indigo 

      Michels, Leander; Richter, Annika; Chellappan, Rajesh Kumar; Røst, Håkon Ivarssønn; Behsen, Alenka Djarmila; Wells, Kristin Høydalsvik; Leal, Luciano; Santana, Vilany; Blawid, Rosana; da Silva, Geraldo J.; Cooil, Simon; Wells, Justin William; Blawid, Stefan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      An optical, electronic and structural characterisation of three natural dyes potentially interesting for application in organic solar cells, curcumin (C21H20O6), bixin (C25H30O4) and indigo (C16H10N2O2), was performed. ...

    • Insulin amyloid polymorphs: implications for iatrogenic cytotoxicity† 

      Yuzu, Keisuke; Lindgren, Mikael; Nyström, Sofie; Zhang, Jun; Mori, Wakako; Kunitomi, Risako; Nagase, Terumasa; Iwaya, Keiichi; Hammarström, Per; Zako, Tamotsu (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Amyloid specific fluorescent probes are becoming an important tool for studies of disease progression and conformational polymorphisms in diseases related to protein misfolding and aggregation such as localized and systemic ...

    • Microarrays for the study of compartmentalized microorganisms in alginate microbeads and (W/O/W) double emulsions 

      Håti, Armend Gazmeno; Arnfinnsdottir, Nina Bjørk; Østevold, Camilla; Sletmoen, Marit; Etienne, Gianluca; amstad, esther; Stokke, Bjørn Torger (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Understanding of cells has mainly been achieved through analysis of average properties of large cellular populations. The increased awareness of cellular heterogeneity in various biological systems, spans from single ...

    • Microbial-induced calcium carbonate precipitation: An experimental toolbox for in situ and real-time investigation of micro-scale pH evolution 

      Zehner, Jennifer Simone; Røyne, Anja; Wentzel, Alexander; Sikorski, Pawel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Concrete is the second most consumed product by humans, after water. However, the production of conventional concrete causes more than 5% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions and therefore there is a need for emission-reduced ...

    • On-surface manipulation of atom substitution between cobalt phthalocyanine and the Cu(111) substrate 

      Shen, Kongchao; Narsu, Bai; Ji, Gengwu; Sun, Haoliang; Hu, Jinbang; Liang, Zhaofeng; Gao, Xingyu; Li, Haiyang; Li, Zheshen; Song, Bo; Jiang, Zheng; Huang, Han; Wells, Justin; Song, Fei (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
