Substrate stiffness effect on molecular crosstalk of epithelial-mesenchymal transition mediators of human glioblastoma cells

The complexity of the microenvironment effects on cell response, show accumulating evidence that glioblastoma (GBM) migration and invasiveness are influenced by the mechanical rigidity of their surroundings. The epithelial–mesenchymal trans...

Proteoliposomes – a system to study membrane proteins under buffer gradients by cryo-EM

Membrane proteins are vital to life and major therapeutic targets. Yet, understanding how they function is limited by a lack of structural information. In biological cells, membrane proteins reside in lipidic membranes and typically experie...

High Sensitivity Microfiber Interferometer Sensor in Aqueous Solution

The need for environmental protection and water pollution control has led to the development of different sensors for determining many kinds of pollutants in water. Ammonia nitrogen presence is an important indicator of water quality in env...

Light Absorption and Emission by Defects in Doped Nickel Oxide

Nickel oxide is a versatile p‐type semiconducting oxide with many applications in optoelectronic devices, but high doping concentrations are often required to achieve necessary electrical conductivity. In contrast to many other transparent ...

Wearable armband with a floating mobile exploratory electrode at fingertip for on-demand touch-and-measure multilead electrocardiography

Spurred by the global pandemic, research in health monitoring has pivoted towards the development of smart garments, enabling long-term tracking of individuals’ cardiovascular health by continuously monitoring the electrocardiogram (ECG) an...

Roles of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) in the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease (DKD)

Abstract Diabetic kidney disease (DKD), a prevalent microvascular complication of diabetes, is a leading cause of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease. Moreover, it plays a crucial role in the morbidity and mortality of diabet...

High-speed nonlinear focus-induced photoresponse in amorphous silicon photodetectors for ultrasensitive 3D imaging applications

Abstract A large and growing number of applications benefit from simple, fast and highly sensitive 3D imaging sensors. The Focus-Induced Photoresponse (FIP) can achieve 3D sensing functionalities by simply evaluating the irradiance dependen...

Larvicidal efficacy of green synthesized silver nanoparticles using Coleus aromaticus and Wrightia tinctoria against Aedes aegypti

Mosquitoes transmit a number of serious diseases, including brain fever, chikungunya, dengue fever, filariasis, hemorrhagic fever, Japanese encephalitis, malaria, dengue, and Zika. Whereas the synthetic chemical insecticides are commonly us...

Nanotechnology

Although research in nanotechnology continues apace, relatively little is known about the subsequent health effects of exposure to nanoparticles. Major research efforts are underway both in the US and abroad to characterize the risks of suc...

Nanotechnology in Textiles

Increasing customer demand for durable and functional apparel manufactured in a sustainable manner has created an opportunity for nanomaterials to be integrated into textile substrates. Nanomoieties can induce stain repellence, wrinkle-free...

Nanotechnology in dentistry

Nanotechnology is manipulating matter at nanometer level and the application of the same to medicine is called nanomedicine. Nanotechnology holds promise for advanced diagnostics, targeted drug delivery, and biosensors. In the long-term, me...
