An end effector was fabricated from a commercial atomic force microscope (AFM) cantilever by focused ion beam (FIB) etching. The spring constant of it was calibrated by nanomanipulation approach. Three kinds of hydrophilic and hydrophobic ITO plates were prepared by using VUV-irradiation and OTS coating techniques. The shear adhesion strength of the single yeast cell to each substrate was measured based on the deflection of the end effector. The results demonstrated that the cell adhesion force was larger under the wet condition in the ESEM environment than in the aqueous condition. It also showed that the cell adhesion force to hydrophilic surface was larger than that to the hydrophobic surface. Studies of single cell's adhesion on various plate surfaces and environments could give new insights into the tissue engineering and biological field.]]> 10 4 217 224 1461 10 4 225 238 1769 10 4 239 247 3397 10 4 248 249 313 -1 cm^-2. Furthermore, it showed wide detection ranging from 20 nM to 900 μ M. At the same time, the interference of ascorbic acid (AA) was effectively avoided because of the Nafion film coated on the surface of the hybrid electrode.]]> 10 4 250 258 1136 10 4 259 261 236 10 4 262 268 1613 3O₄/oleic acid (FeOA) nanofluid as potential controlled release vehicle of this antibiofilm agent. The (+) -UA loaded into nanofluid exhibited an improved antibiofilm effect on S. aureus biofilm formation, revealed by the drastic decrease of the viable cell counts as well as by confocal laser scanning microscopy images. Our results demonstrate that FeOA nanoparticles could be used as successful coating agents for obtaining antibiofilm pellicles on different medical devices, opening a new perspective for obtaining new antimicrobial and antibiofilm surfaces, based on hybrid functionalized nanostructured biomaterials.]]> 10 4 269 274 2334 10 4 275 285 1651 10 4 286 286 210 10 4 287 288 1368 10 4 289 297 92 10 4 C3 C3 25 10 4 C4 C4 5
