BOW researchers develop a ‘plasmon-based nanoruler’ to assay the mechanical properties of EVs
The front cover of Nanoscale Horizons features a new assay developed by BOW researchers: A “plasmon-based nanoruler” to measure the mechanical properties of Extracellular Vesicles. The CSGI and ISMN-CNR teams of BOW developed a conceptual and methodological advancement which allows accessing the stiffness of extracellular vesicles, or more generally of membrane-enveloped nanosized objects, such as …
