The detection and prognosis of prostate cancer in its early stages are critically important. It is therefore essential to improve the existing dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE MRI) techniques commonly used for the assessment of the tumour vascular enviro ...
Tumors consist of cells whose growth and morphological characteristics are markedly different from those of normal cells. Observation of human and animal models argue that tumor development proceeds via a process formally analogous to Darwinian evolution, ...
The cytotoxic activity of the polymer-copper(II) complex, [Cu(bpy)(2)(BPEI)]Cl-2 center dot 4H(2)O (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, BPEI = branched polyethyleneimine) on NCI-H460 human lung cancer cells was determined adopting MTT assay and specific staining techni ...
Tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells are involved in crucial processes during tumor development. A subset of monocytes that express the angiopoietin receptor Tie2 play an important role in tumor angiogenesis. Selective depletion of these Tie2-expressing monocy ...
Background: The microfabricated impedance spectroscopy flow cytometer used in this study permits rapid dielectric characterization of a cell population with a simple microfluidic channel. Impedance measurements over a wide frequency range provide informati ...
Background: Radiotherapy is widely used to treat cancer. While rapidly dividing cancer cells are naturally considered the main target of radiotherapy, emerging evidence indicates that radiotherapy also affects endothelial cell functions, and possibly also ...
This paper reports the new combination of cell sorting and counting capabilities on a single device. Most state-of-the-art devices combining these technologies use optical techniques requiring complicate experimental setups and labeled samples. The use of ...
The goals of tissue engineering include recapitulating specific tissue functions for regenerative medicine and developing in vitro models of human tissues to study human physiology and pathophysiology and for testing and screening drugs before expensive cl ...
Tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells, including tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), have been implicated in tumor progression. We recently described a lineage of mouse monocytes characterized by expression of the Tie2 angiopoietin receptor and required for th ...
The design, fabrication techniques and characterization of an on-chip flow- cytometer device as well as the packaging approach is described. The device consists of planar microelectrodes situated on one or both sides of a micro- channel connected to an ele ...
