      In vivo, site-specific, covalent conjugation of quantum dots to proteins via split-intein splicing 

      Charalambous, Anna; Andreou, Maria I.; Antoniades, Ioanna; Christodoulou, Neophytos; Skourides, Paris A. (2012)
      The ability to target proteins with nanostructures and/or nanodevices in vivo is important for understanding and controlling their biological function. Quantum dots (QDs) serve as an ideal model nanostructure due to their ...

      InAs quantum dots grown by molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs (211)B polar substrates 

      Zervos, Matthew; Xenogianni, C.; Deligeorgis, G.; Androulidaki, M.; Savvidis, P. G.; Hatzopoulos, Z.; Pelekanos, N. T. (2006)
      InAs nanostructures were grown by molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs (211)B at temperatures between 400-530 °C and growth rates that were varied between 0.1 to 0.02 mono-layers (ML) per second. For temperatures up to 500 °C ...

      Intein-mediated site-specific conjugation of Quantum Dots to proteins in vivo 

      Charalambous, Anna; Andreou, Maria I.; Skourides, Paris A. (2009)
      We describe an intein based method to site-specifically conjugate Quantum Dots (QDs) to target proteins in vivo. This approach allows the covalent conjugation of any nanostructure and/or nanodevice to any protein and thus ...

      Multistage nanoparticles for improved delivery into tumor tissue 

      Stylianopoulos, T.; Wong, C.; Bawendi, M. G.; Jain, R. K.; Fukumura, D. (2012)
      The enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect has been a key rationale for the development of nanoscale carriers to solid tumors. As a consequence of EPR, nanotherapeutics are expected to improve drug and detection ...

      Oblique hanle measurements of InAs/GaAs quantum dot spin-light emitting diodes 

      Itskos, Grigorios; Harbord, E.; Clowes, S. K.; Clarke, E.; Van Dorpe, P.; Van Roy, W.; Cohen, L. F.; Murray, R. (2007)
      We report here electrical spin injection through an Fe contact into a quantum dot light emitting diode structure using the oblique Hanle geometry. The measured spin polarization in the ground state of the dots is estimated ...

      Single and multiplexed fluorescent in situ hybridization using quantum dots nanocrystals in Xenopus 

      Ioannou, Androulla; Eleftheriou, Iro; Charalambous, Anna; Skourides, Paris A. (Springer New York, 2015)
      The photostability and narrow emission spectra of quantum dots (QDs) make them ideal candidates for whole-mount fluorescent in situ hybridization. Here we describe a method for non-amplified, single and multiplexed whole-mount ...

      A study of 40LoVe's role in xenopus development and the development of a novel intein based method for the in vivo conjugation of quantum dots to target proteins 

      Andreou, Maria S. (Πανεπιστήμιο Κύπρου, Σχολή Θετικών και Εφαρμοσμένων Επιστημών / University of Cyprus, Faculty of Pure and Applied Sciences, 2014-05)
      Η πρωτεΐνη Samba ανήκει στην οικογένεια των ετερογενών πυρηνικών ριβονουκλεοπρωτεϊνών (hnRNPs). Προηγούμενες μελέτες έχουν δείξει ότι καταστέλλει την εξάπλωση των κυττάρων του ζωικού πόλου σε υπόστρωμα φιμπρονεκτίνης και ...
