Publication - Cell and Tissue Research - STED nanoscopy: a glimpse into the future

Lanir Contact Point — Mon, 19 Oct 2015 00:30:41 +0000

Abstract: The well-known saying of “Seeing is believing” became even more apt in biology when stimulated emission depletion (STED) nanoscopy was introduced in 1994 by the Nobel laureate S. Hell and coworkers. We presently stand at a juncture. Nanoscopy represented a revolution in fluorescence microscopy but now is a mature technique applied to many branches of biology, physics, chemistry, and materials science. We are currently looking ahead to the next generation of optical nanoscopes, to the new key player that will arise in the forthcoming years.

Meeting - LANIR 36 Month Meeting at GNR, Italy, 16 - 17 March 2015

Foysal Khan — Wed, 18 Mar 2015 00:00:00 +0000

The LANIR Month 36 meeting took place in the facilities of GNR outside Milan in Italy on 16 and 17 March 2015.There was a strong focus by partners on delivering on the objectives of the project with the project end now approaching.

Partners focus was also on how best to achieve the impact from the project and allow for the future exploitation of the research undertaken during the project.

The Month 30 Meeting took place in Limerick, Ireland and was hosted within the Tierney Building at the University of Limerick. The meeting also consisted of a visit of UL LANIR labs at University of Limerick by the Consortium Members. Partners presented and provided an overview of key action for M30-M36 meeting, M36 meeting will take place in Milan on 16 -17th March 2015.

Publication - PLoS One - Multilayered Polyelectrolyte Microcapsules: Interaction with the Enzyme Cytochrome C Oxidase

Lanir Contact Point — Wed, 05 Nov 2014 00:00:00 +0000

Abstract: Cell-sized polyelectrolyte capsules functionalized with a redox-driven proton pump protein were assembled for the first time. The interaction of polyelectrolyte microcapsules, fabricated by electrostatic layer-by-layer assembly, with cytochrome c oxidase molecules was investigated. We found that the cytochrome c oxidase retained its functionality, that the functionalized microcapsules interacting with cytochrome c oxidase were permeable and that the permeability characteristics of the microcapsule shell depend on the shell components.

Meeting- LANIR 15 Month Project Meeting

Foysal Khan — Tue, 25 Jun 2013 13:04:45 +0000

The Month 15 Meeting took place in Dublin, Ireland and was hosted within the Dublin Convention Centre which was hosting EuroNanoForum 2013. The meeting also consisted of a visit of UL facilities at Limerick by some of the Consortium Members. The meeting developed action plans for the next 3 months, in advance of the Consortium and Project Review meeting in September 2013.
