A report published in Nanoscale describes a new nanoscale sensor, designed by researchers at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Nanoscale BioPhotonics (CNBP), which allows ultrasmall amounts of cytokines to be identified in and around cells.
The sensor consists of a modified graphene quantum dot (or GQD) which has been designed by researchers at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Nanoscale BioPhotonics (CNBP).
Lead CNBP project scientist Guozhen Liu, Associate Professor at Macquarie University, explained, “The release of certain cytokines by the body is frequently symptomatic of a…
