Papers and Patents using Spy technology Many of these publications don’t come up from a Pubmed search or citation search, so it should be useful to bring them all together and hyperlinked (now >400 publications). Patents may be omitted if there is a journal paper covering very similar work. Ones with particular relevance to IMMUNOLOGY, MATERIALS (polymers or mechanobiology), IMAGING , SEQUENCING or ENZYMES are marked.
