A new class of biohybrid nanoprobes has been developed for surface-enhanced Raman scattering-based bioimaging. Silver nanoparticle clusters were encapsulated in polymeric nanoparticles using electrohydrodynamic jetting, followed by stabilization and bioconjugation. Controlled SERS intensity with high sensitivity, chemical stability, and biocompatibility makes the SERS biohybrid nanoprobes useful for bioimaging.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
