Abstract :
The in-fiber surface-attachment of dye-loaded liposomes is demonstrated. This was achieved via in-fiber light-induced biotin-functionalization, enabling the subsequent sandwiching of streptavidin with biotinylated-liposomes. Liposomes were then probed through in-fiber fluorescence spectroscopy.
