Lung metastases are a devastating reality for over half of cancer patients whose tumors spread beyond their initial sites.

Aberrant expressions of matrix proteins by cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) alter the mechanical properties of the tumor extracellular matrix (ECM). This results in increased ECM desmoplasia and ...

It absorbs shocks to our systems. Its interstitial fluid is a critical part of dispatching white blood cells, the community organizers of our biology, to fight infections. It is core to our existence.

Here, a biosafe porous-MNAE using interstitial fluid (ISF) as conductive fillers is proposed. Its porous-MNs can penetrate the high-impedance stratum corneum (SC) and automatically absorb ISF through ...

Lymphoedema is a chronic condition evolving from the accumulation of interstitial fluid due to impaired drainage via the lymphatics and is recognised ... 2.13 Bioassays for binding and cross-linking ...

Interstitial cystitis (IC) and overactive bladder (OAB) are two distinct but related conditions that affect the bladder and can significantly affect quality of life. IC is also referred to as ...

Hence, researchers often simulate the brain as a network of coupled neural masses, each described by a mean-field model. These models capture the essential features of neuronal populations while ...

Effects of the TGF-β family on differentiation Several classes of extracellular proteins act as key mediators of differentiation that regulate or define the selection and the progression of the ...

If you have ever run out of windshield washer fluid when you didn’t have any more on hand, you may have wondered whether you really need special fluid or if you could just use plain water instead.

Peter Forrest — who, as P. Fluid, was lead singer and frontman of the pioneering Black rock band 24/7 Spyz — has died at the age of 64. On Jan. 14th, Forrest’s body was found badly beaten in ...

These particles, called extracellular vesicles, are considered attractive vehicle models for new drug therapies. But until now, researchers haven't had the complete picture of how they work.
