This review covers the current state of the art of luminescent biosensors based on various
types of microstructured optical fiber. The unique optical and structural properties of this type …

Surface biofunctionalization has emerged in the past decade as a rising tool in Tissue
Engineering and Regenerative Medicine (TERM) approaches. The development of …

The immobilization and probing of liposomes within photonic crystal fibers was
demonstrated for the first time. A bioactive surface was used to tether the liposomes. This …

Bioactive surface formation within photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) was demonstrated via
photochemical means in our earlier work. The bioactive surface consisted of streptavidin …

Optical fibers have enabled the miniaturization of a host of optical devices and systems. The
further development of photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) has broadened this miniaturization …

The in-fiber surface-attachment of dye-loaded liposomes is demonstrated. This was
achieved via in-fiber light-induced biotin-functionalization, enabling the subsequent …
