pH와 Macrophage의 영향 Cellular waste disposal, where autophagy and lysosomes interact, performs elementary functions, such as degrading damaged protein molecules, which impair cellular function, and reintroducing the resulting building blocks such as amino acids into the metabolic system. Researchers from the Leibniz-Forschungsinstitut für Molekulare Pharmakologie (FMP) in Berlin have now discovered a previously unkn..
detachable adhesive tape for Cell Tissue Last year, MIT engineers developed a double-sided adhesive that could quickly and firmly stick to wet surfaces such as biological tissues. They showed that the tape could be used to seal up rips and tears in lungs and intestines within seconds, or to affix implants and other medical devices to the surfaces of organs such as the heart. Now they have further developed their adhesive so that it can..
AFM 개선하기 Atomic force microscopy is used to scan the surfaces of materials to generate an image of their height but the technique cannot easily identify the molecular composition. Researchers have previously developed a combination of AFM and infrared spectroscopy called AFM-IR. The AFM-IR microscope uses a cantilever, which is a beam that is connected to a support at one end and a sharp tip at the other..
droplet evaporation control을 통한 cell laden hydrogel 만들기 모르는 단어 volatile: 휘발성 물질 marangoni flow? surface tension gradient에 의해서 생기는 mass transfer라고 한다. 논문을 찾아서 읽어보는 중이다. When a stationary droplet containing a solute in a volatile solvent evaporates, the flow in the droplet can assemble into complex patterns. Researchers have examined such transport in evaporating sessile droplets in solvents demonstrated flow in evaporating aqueous sessile droplets con..
유방암진단 Lab-on-a-Chip https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-06-lab-on-a-chip-blood-breast-cancer-early.html 모르는 단어 supplant: replace mammogram: the process of using low energy X-ray to diagnose and screening. Xu and his colleagues tested their lab-on-a-chip by equipping one of its channels to look for MMP14, an enzyme released by tumors that has been linked to cancer progression. The enzyme attacks healthy cells in way..
비침습적으로 신장암 진단하기 Small, early kidney tumors usually cause no symptoms, and increasingly are found incidentally in scans of the abdomen performed for another purpose. However, there is no imaging or other screening test recommended for the general population to look for early kidney cancers. Non-invasive liquid biopsies, which search for cancer-related DNA shed by tumors into blood or other body fluids, are movin..
피검사로 뇌종양 진단 https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-06-brain-tumors-blood.html A major challenge in treating brain cancers is the accurate diagnosis of different types of brain cancers, and tumors ranging from low grade—which can look almost normal under a microscope—to aggressive tumors. Cancer grades are used to determine prognosis, and assist in treatment planning. Current methods to diagnose and establish t..
liquid biopsy를 통한 암감지 https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-06-blood-cancer-sensitive-current-methods.html The technique uses personalized genetic testing of a patient's tumor to search blood samples for hundreds of different genetic mutations in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA); DNA released by cancer cells into the bloodstream. Combined with new methods to analyze this data to remove background noise and enhance the sig..
