DOI: 10.1063/1.5004076
Abstract: The present study aims to demonstrate how active hybrid nano-plasmonic modes become excited due to the coupling of localized plasmonic resonance and Fabry-Perot (FP) optical modes. The proposed structure includes an integration of a micro-cavity… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2018.01559
Abstract: The formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) to immobilize pathogens represents a novel antimicrobial strategy of the immune system. The microcrystals related to human diseases are classified into endogenous microcrystals, including monosodium urate (MSU), calcium… read more here.
