Kinetics Analyses Of Interactions Between Oncogenic And Tumor Suppressor Proteins By Quantitative High Resolution Microscopy Methods
(Biomedical Engineering, 2013-07-22)
DAB2IP is correlated to the risk of aggressive prostate cancer and loss of DAB2IP not only leads to epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), but also makes cells radioresistant. These observations support the notion ...
Magnetic Thermal Hysteresis In Dy, Gd And Gd/Dy/Gd Nanolayers And Experimental Determination Of Thermodynamic Properties Of Thin Film Systems.
(Physics, 2013-03-20)
Magnetic thermal hysteresis (MTH) is observed when the temperature dependent magnetic properties of a material are reliant on the starting point of the measurement. MTH was observed in thin film Dy samples at low values ...
Fabrication Of Small Diameter Vascular Graft Using Stacked Collagen Films
(Biomedical Engineering, 2013-03-20)
Collagen I have been widely used in the field of vascular tissue engineering. They are characterized better for their interaction at the cellular level but are often limited as vascular graft due to their weak mechanical ...
