A novel label-free immunosensing strategy for sensitive detection of tumor necrosis factor-alpha antigen (TNF-α) via surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) was proposed. In this strategy, the Au electrode was first modified by consecutive SI-ATRP of ferrocenylmethyl methacrylate (FMMA) and

The use of injectable pH-responsive doubly cross-linked microgels (DX microgels) to improve the mechanical properties of degenerated intervertebral discs is demonstrated for the first time. The microgel comprised methyl methacrylate (MMA), methacrylic acid (MAA), ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (EGD) and glycidyl methacrylate

A signal amplification strategy for sensitive detection of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) using quantum dots (QDs)-polymer-functionalized silica nanosphere as the label was proposed. In this approach, silica nanospheres with good monodispersity and uniform structure were employed as carriers for surface-initiated
