Understanding Plant Cell Viability Plant cells, like all living cells, undergo a complex cycle of growth, differentiation, and death. In plant biotechnology, tissue culture, and stress physiology studies, knowing whether cells are alive or dead is essential for interpreting experimental results. Plant cell viability refers to the proportion of living, metabolically active cells in a given ...
Introduction CDH1, also known as E-cadherin, is a crucial protein involved in cell adhesion and plays a significant role in various biological processes. In recent years, researchers have focused on understanding the functions of CDH1 and its implications in cancer development. This blog post aims to shed light on what CDH1 protein does, its role in cancer, and the future research directions in ...
Previously, it was thought that glial cells, which support neuronal activity, metabolize most of the glucose in the brain. However, by using induced pluripotent stem cells, the researchers found that neurons were able to take up glucose and process it into smaller metabolites. In mice, normal function of neurons depends on glycolysis. The findings could help develop new treatments for ...
The next generation of positron emission tomography (PET) imaging agents will herald an age when PET will eclipse single photon emission computed tomog- raphy (SPECT) as the “go to” modality for molecular imaging. It will do so by enabling personalized medicine through precision diagnostics, the ability to be delivered cost-effectively in a manner with less radiation to patients, by ...
The Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Center, located in midtown Detroit, is the only National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated comprehensive cancer center in metro Detroit and one of just 51 centers of its kind in the United States. The comprehensive cancer center designation means patients can access treatments exclusive to Karmanos, as well as clinical trials, cancer prevention programs, and ...
Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is a technique that prepares acceptable results for molecular imaging biomarkers to precisely and dependably detect and diagnose disorders which are sign of cancers. Since contemporary manual FISH signal analysis is low-effective and inconsistent, it is an attractive research area to develop automated FISH image scanning systems and computer-aided ...
Quantum dots have the potential to be used as contrast agents for molecular imaging in vivo, but there are many challenges in optimising such procedures, both in pre-clinical animal models and in the potential clinical applications. In particular, it is critical to obtain the optimal target-to-background contrast to achieve maximum diagnostic accuracy. However, available data are insufficient to ...
