Helicene-Hydrazide Encapsulated Ethyl Cellulose as a Potential Fluorescence Sensor for Highly Specific Detection of Nonanal in Aqueous Solutions and a Proof-of-Concept Clinical Study in Lung Fluid
The research group of Assoc. Prof. Boosayarat Tomapatanaget has successfully fabricated helicene dye-encapsulated ethyl cellulose (EC@dye-NH) nanoparticles as fluorescence biosensors for specific and selective detection of long-chain aldehydes, which are significant biomarkers of lung cancer. This effective probe employed the idea of an imine formation reaction between hydrazine group …
