The tool kit for label-free single-molecule sensing, nucleic acid sequencing (DNA, RNA and protein) and other biotechnological applications has been significantly broadened due to the wide range of available nanopore-based technologies. Currently, various sources of nanopores, including biological, fabricated solid-state, hybrid and recently de novo chemically synthesized ion-like channels have put in use for rapid single-molecule sensing of biomolecules and other diagnostic applications. At length scales of hundreds of nanometers, DNA nanotechnology, particularly DNA origami-based devices, enables the assembly of complex and dynamic 3-dimensional nanostructures, including nanopores with precise control over the size/shape.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) of different sizes (10nm, 35nm, 55nm) in creating a collagen-based scaffold for tissue engineering and wound healing.
  • AgNPs were synthesized using pectin through a microwave method, and their incorporation improved the properties of collagen scaffolds, such as increased denaturation temperature and mechanical strength.
  • Findings indicate that the 10nm Ag-pectin nanoparticles enhance both antibacterial activity and cell viability for keratinocytes, suggesting potential use in biomedical applications.
