Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial biofilm formation on implantable devices and approaches to its treatment and prevention
TL;DR: A brief overview of concepts of bacterial biofilm formation, current state-of-the-art therapeutic approaches for preventing and treating biofilms, and the prevalence of such infections on medical devices is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optofluidic label-free SERS platform for rapid bacteria detection in serum
Robert Hunter,Ali Najafi Sohi,Zohra Khatoon,Vincent R. Berthiaume,Emilio I. Alarcon,Michel Godin,Hanan Anis +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, an optofluidic Raman detection platform was designed, which utilized a microfluidic driven hollow-core photonic crystal fiber, which in combination with silver nanoparticles, provided a large enhancement to the Raman signal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multifunctional Nano and Collagen-Based Therapeutic Materials for Skin Repair
Caitlin Lazurko,Zohra Khatoon,Keshav Goel,Veronika Sedláková,Cagla Eren Cimenci,Manuel Ahumada,Manuel Ahumada,Manuel Ahumada,Li Zhang,Thien-Fah Mah,Walfre Franco,Erik J. Suuronen,Emilio I. Alarcon +12 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that using a combination of the matrix with full-thickness microscopic skin tissue columns synergistically contributed to faster and superior skin regeneration in a nonhealing wound model in diabetic mice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanoengineering the surface of corneal implants: towards functional anti-microbial and biofilm materials
Zohra Khatoon,Irene Guzmán-Soto,Christopher D. McTiernan,Caitlin Lazurko,Fiona Simpson,Li Zhang,David Cortes,Thien-Fah Mah,May Griffith,May Griffith,Emilio I. Alarcon +10 more
TL;DR: The development and use of a light-mediated in situ grafting technology for the surface modification of biosynthetic corneal implants with peptide-capped nanoparticles (15–65 nm) have antimicrobial properties in bacterial suspension and reduced the extent of biofilm formation.
