Process characterization of epithelial–mesenchymal transition in alveolar epithelial type II cells using surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectroscopy

Abstract

Here we present a sensitive, non-invasive, and label-free detection method for successful identification and discrimination of the BLM-induced EMT in ATII cells, which is based on the TAT-functionalized AuNSs as intracellular SERS probes.
