Cell shape recognition by colloidal cell imprints: Energy of the cell-imprint interaction (2015)
Journal Article
Borovicka, J., Stoyanov, S. D., & Paunov, V. N. (2015). Cell shape recognition by colloidal cell imprints: Energy of the cell-imprint interaction. Physical review. E, Statistical, nonlinear, and soft matter physics, 92(3), 1-8. https://doi.org/10.1103/physreve.92.032730

The results presented in this study are aimed at the theoretical estimate of the interactions between a spherical microbial cell and the colloidal cell imprints in terms of the Derjaguin, Landau, Vervey, and Overbeek (DLVO) surface forces. We adapted... Read More about Cell shape recognition by colloidal cell imprints: Energy of the cell-imprint interaction.

Shape recognition of microbial cells by colloidal cell imprints (2013)
Journal Article
Borovička, J., Stoyanov, S. D., & Paunov, V. N. (2013). Shape recognition of microbial cells by colloidal cell imprints. Nanoscale, 5(18), 8560-8568. https://doi.org/10.1039/c3nr01893h

We have engineered a class of colloids which can recognize the shape and size of targeted microbial cells and selectively bind to their surfaces. These imprinted colloid particles, which we called “colloid antibodies”, were fabricated by partial frag... Read More about Shape recognition of microbial cells by colloidal cell imprints.

Nanoantibiotic particles for shape and size recognition of pathogens (2013)
Journal Article
Borovicka, J., Paunov, V., & Stoyanov, S. D. (2013). Nanoantibiotic particles for shape and size recognition of pathogens. MRS Online Proceedings Library, 1498, 127 - 132. https://doi.org/10.1557/opl.2013.14

We have developed a novel class of colloidal particles capable of shape and size recognition as well as specific binding to the target cells. These colloid particles were fabricated using a nanoimprinting technology which yields inorganic imprints of... Read More about Nanoantibiotic particles for shape and size recognition of pathogens.
