Isolation and Analysis of Circulating Tumor Cells in Genitourinary Cancers
(2017)
While accessible by a relatively noninvasive blood draw, circulating tumor cells (CTCs) remain difficult to study because of their rarity and their presence amongst the billions of surrounding normal blood cells. Of ...
Continuous Microfluidic Viscometers for Biochemical and Diagnostic Analysis
(2017)
Microfluidic technologies have advanced rapidly over the past two decades. Numerous microfluidic devices to assess different biomarkers have been reported, yet very few address physical properties, such as viscosities, of ...
Hsp70 chaperone Proteins and their Interactions with Various Drugs as Studied by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance.
(2011)
Chaperone proteins and their cochaperones are perhaps one of the most intriguing systems for investigation. Ubiquitous in nature, they can be found in every organism and that perhaps is the reason that their sequence shows ...
Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Phase and Structural Transitions in Model Lung Surfactant Mixtures.
(2010)
Lung surfactant (LS) is a complex mixture of lipids and proteins that reduces and regulates the surface tension in the lungs, thereby decreasing the work of breathing. A thorough understanding of LS function is critical ...
Pooling Designs for High-Throughput Biological Experiments.
(2010)
High-throughput experiments provide a fast, automated way to obtain massive amounts of information about biological systems. In several instances, these experiments subject a large number of items (biological samples or ...
Engineering the Quantitative PCR Assay for Decreased Cost and Complexity.
(2011)
The quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) is an assay of target nucleic acid concentration. Clinical applications of quantitative PCR include measurement of HIV viral load, measurement of bacterial infection, and ...
