Researchers in Scientific Reports have developed an innovative sensor integrated with a bioreactor to detect hazardous contaminants from antifouling (AF) paints, assessing their impact on the photosynthetic activity of the microalgae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
Researchers from Germany developed a novel pH nanosensor using polystyrene nanoparticles functionalized with a pH-responsive dye and wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) for cell targeting. This nanosensor demonstrates effective membrane binding and high sensitivity in detecting extracellular pH changes, showing promise for diverse biological applications.
