Towards rapid electrochemical test system of polyanilino-laccase-on-gold enzyme nanobiosensor for water estrogens
(2013)
Current water treatment technologies do not remove many endocrine disruptor compounds (EDCs) such as 17α-ethynylestradiol (EE2) in its entirety, and the amount of these pollutants that continues to enter the aquatic ...
Nanocomposite immunosensor for anti-transglutaminase antibody
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
Coeliac disease (CD) is a gluten intolerance condition that results in the flattening of the villi, which line the bowel. It is the most common cause of malabsorption of food nutrients. This inability to absorb sufficient ...
Nanoformulation of Artemisia afra and its potential biomedical applications in type 2 diabetes
(University of Western Cape, 2019)
Current research classifies Type 2 diabetes as most prevalent non-communicable diseases in South
Africa. Approximately 285 million people are affected globally with an expected increase to 595
