electronically detecting cancer biomarker (antibody) A user would mix a droplet of blood in a vial of reactive liquid, then place the mixture onto a strip and insert it into a reader. In minutes, the device would measure an antigen that indicates the degree to which cancer is present. The prototype has been designed to monitor prostate specific antigen (PSA) and the technology can readily be adapted to measure other markers, depending on the form ..
killing cancer by healing tissue Despite the remarkable successes of immune-based treatments for cancer, not everyone responds to these approaches and relapses do occur. According to Ming Li, an immunologist in the Sloan Kettering Institute, most existing immunotherapy approaches, including both checkpoint blockade and CAR T therapy, aim to prod the immune system into finding and killing cancer cells—a kind of frontal attack on..
breast cancer metastasis 연구를 위한 microfluidic device "But when cancer metastasizes, cancer cells move through the body, making the disease difficult to treat. We decided to apply our expertise in microfluidics to develop a new tool to aid in studying how cancer cells begin to invade into surrounding tissues in the first steps in metastasis." Normally metastasis is studied in a petri dish cell culture or in whole animals. However, these model syste..
코로나 바이러스가 호흡기 이외의 장기에 주는 영향들 모르는 단어 clot: 혈관이 막히는 것 After only a few days caring for critically ill COVID-19 patients at the start of the outbreak in New York City, Aakriti Gupta, MD, realized that this was much more than a respiratory disease. I observed that patients were clotting a lot, they had high blood sugars even if they did not have diabetes, and many were experiencing injury to their hearts and kidneys," In early ..
단백질의 거동 모르는 것 및 단어: corroborate: 확증하다. ion-exchange chromatography surface diffusion Scientists have struggled to directly measure the movement of proteins, known as protein diffusion, in materials that include both solid and liquid components. They have also disagreed on how movement at the surface of the material contributes to protein movement when using ion-exchange chromatography, a laboratory and ..
복잡한 환경에서 키네신 협동의 거동 As many diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, have been linked to the defective functioning of motor proteins in cell transport systems, understanding the intricacies of how motor proteins work in their native crowded cell environments is essential to understanding what goes wrong when they function incorrectly. Molecular motors are specialized proteins that bind to..
oil treatment로 coffee ring effect 약화시키기 The coffee-stain effect is a well-known effect in physics and daily life in which a dark-colored edge remains when a fluid containing particles evaporates. This is caused by an "avalanche" of particles moving to the outer edge, University of Twente scientists showed in a past study. In inkjet and 3-D printing, this is an undesired effect. Now, researchers have demonstrated that the effect can be..
B cell에서 어떻게 다양한 항체가 만들어지는가? t has long been known that the acquired immune system can generate a vast antibody (immunoglobulin) repertoire by gene recombination in developing B-cells. However, it was not understood how the different immunoglobulin gene segments can meet each other in the three-dimensional space of a B-cell nucleus to undergo recombination, thus generating a functional antibody gene. Scientists at Vienna's ..
