  Background Current methods of tissue fixation leave much to be desired, essentially relying on technologies developed from the clothing and carpentry industries i.e. sutures, screws, and pins. Bioadhesives offer a less traumatic method of ...

  Background Neutrophils are potent effector cells in a wide number of infectious, inflammatory and cancerous conditions. Modulation of Neutrophil functions in these conditions may have significant therapeutic benefits and effects on disease ...

  Background Solid tumors are known to continually form hypoxic microenvironments because the proliferating tumor cells grow faster than they can attract blood vessels towards them. In hypoxic microenvironments, where there is a lack of oxygen, ...

To date, clinical tests that assess the level of malignancies from patient biopsies rely almost inclusively on histological analysis for specific markers and morphological cues as well as on genetic data i.e mutation analysis. In spite of the ...

  Cancer research is moving into the frontiers of how to assign the correct drug(s) to a given patient. Cancer clinicians and researchers commonly search for overexpression of oncogenic biomarkers to assign a targeted treatment, but lack ...

  Considerable efforts have been invested in recent years in developing new, effective, yet less toxic drugs for targeted cancer therapy. Currently, this diverse group of drugs includes monoclonal antibodies, immunomodulators, proteasome ...

  The physical size of protein drugs and their susceptibility to degradation are key determinates that make them more dependent on drug delivery technologies. However formulating protein delivery systems so that they maintain their stability ...

Synthetic biology is the discipline of engineering application-driven biological functionalities that were not evolved by nature. Early breakthroughs of cell engineering, which were based on ectopic (over)expression of single sets of transgenes, ...
